Acclaimed Zimbabwean author Tendai Huchu leads this online discussion on transnational identities and the diversity of Black identities in celebration of Black History Month.

An online discussion with celebrated Zimbabwean writer Tendai Huchu

From Zimbabwean author to Zimbabwean-born author...

Critically acclaimed Zimbabwean author, Tendai Huchu will lead a discussion giving a glimpse into Zimbabwean transnational identity to texturise the celebration of diverse Black identities during Black History Month. Tendai will read an excerpt from his back-catalogue, a book entitled, "The Hairdresser of Harare" to set the tone of the discussion.

The talk stands in solidarity with the Zimbabwe's localised #BlackLivesMatter movement: #ZimbabweanLivesMatter. Tendai has transitioned from Zimbabwean literature to Scottish fantasy, and lives in Edinburgh. He will discuss his evolutionary journey as an author.
