What made you decide to sit down and actually start something?

I have gone through tough times in life that I don’t want to see others go through the same. I didn’t know who I am, I was ignorant therefore I went around the same cycle.

Because of that, my potential was locked, had low self-esteem and low confidence. I was very broke, I didn’t have money to help me with my daily expenses. I was a complainer, blaming everyone for my failure, and always looking for excuses to remain in the same position

You cannot do extraordinary things with an ordinary mindset, change your mindset

What are the challenges that many Tanzanian writers face.

Some Tanzanians don’t like to read books, I was like that some years ago and I found myself on a rat race, but since I have started reading I have been transformed because I have the right information to move me from where I am to where I aspire to be.

So my fellow Tanzanians I encourage you to read books, start with one and watch what will happen to your life .

You can start with mine it’s a simple book .

Also I would like to encourage parents to train their kids to be readers, this way we will have a nation of readers, as we know; “Readers are Leaders”.
