Africa Forward Fest is the cultural festival organised at l'Alliance Française de Nairobi - the French cultural centre in the Kenya capital, ahead of the political and business forum 'Africa Forward'.
The festival showcases writers from all over Africa, creating stories in different languages.
Tracy Ochieng is a moderator at the Africa Forward Fest and hosted a session on Gen Z in Kenya, and another one with Eritrean author Donica Merhazion.
Donica Merhazion left Eritrea as a refugee for Kenya, lived later in the US, then came back to Kenya 15 years ago with her family. 'Born at the End of the World' is her first book.
Born in the midst of Ethiopia's Red Terror, her book channels her family's experiences.
A former journalist and educator with degrees in journalism and education, she is passionate about storytelling, and inspires her own students to love learning and embrace their potential while finding time to write in her personal time.
