Rest in Power, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o Today we mourn the loss of a literary icon, a cultural trailblazer, and a fearless voice for justice. Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o wasn’t just a writer. He was a movement. A symbol of courage. A man who dared to write in his mother tongue, who challenged the status quo, and who reminded us that language is power. From Weep Not, Child to Decolonising the Mind, he shaped not just African literature—but African identity. His pen was his weapon. His voice, our echo. May we never forget the doors he opened and the minds he awakened. Rest easy, mzee. Your work lives on. 🕊️ #ngugiwathiongo #restinpower #africanliterature
