Happy birthday, Simone de Beauvoir! #OnThisDay January 9, 1908 What an incredible mind and what a determined woman! Even if I don't agree with everything she wrote, I feel that I owe a lot to #Beauvoir and other courageous women who came before us.

I loved hearing the authors read from their books at the @iskanchipress.bsky.social book launch! Thank you for inviting me to speak about my experiences as a literary translator. My favorite thing about translating Aminta Dupuis's novel THE CHILD FROM DINDEFELLO FALLS was learning about #Senegal!

Iska Press For African Perspectives@iskanchipress.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Saturday's book launch was everything. The authors showed up. Stories were shared. One person told Aminta Dupuis: "You wrote a song rather than a book, and it's beautiful." That's the thing about African literature—it doesn't just tell stories. It sings them.

Can't wait to join this conversation as the translator of THE CHILD FROM DINDEFELLO FALLS by Aminta Dupuis! As a literary translator, I endeavor to bring the author's unique voice and perspective to American audiences, so @iskanchipress.bsky.social's mission and vision resonate deeply with me.
