📌 The Pen that Fought for Freedom
Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o (1938–2025) was more than a writer — he was a revolution in words. ✍️
• From "Weep Not, Child" to "Devil on the Cross," he amplified African voices.
• He chose Kikuyu over English, challenging colonial legacies through language.
• His stories became symbols of resistance, justice, and cultural pride.
🕊 Though he passed in 2025, Ngũgĩ's legacy lives on — not just in books, but in the hearts of those who dare to write for freedom.
