1992-1994💔💔

“It was the 1994 genocide of the Tutsis that made me a writer. Writing, being a writer, nothing like that was among my ambitions as a girl. I never dreamt of venturing onto the pathways of literature. Like my mother, I was a good storyteller. Rwandan culture is oral more than anything else. But the memory of a genocide can’t simply be carried by word of mouth. It requires another sort of telling: it needs to be written.“ 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐌𝐮𝐤𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐚, (𝑁𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑛 𝐶𝑟𝑎𝑓𝑡) #Literature #WritingCommunity #Storytelling #DigitalMemory #DigitalMuseum
