Hi everyone and welcome to the donation page for Sade’s World Short Story Podcasts.  If you haven’t had a chance to listen to the podcasts which have been produced, they’re available on this website, iTunes, SoundCloud and MixCloud.  Links are on the podcast page.

In an ideal world I would like to be able to create a weekly podcast, which is why your help is needed to produce the next set of podcasts. SWoSSP is about showcasing short stories written by emerging and established African writers, a place where people can go, to listen and share stories by African writers, a place where we discover and celebrate exciting voices.

There are a myriad of reasons why I’m spearheading this project but most importantly amongst them is that, I believe stories give meaning and context to our lives.  Author Junot Diaz wrote, “if you want to make a human being a monster, deny them at the cultural level, any reflection of themselves.”  The only way we can reshape the narrative of the African Continent is by telling our own stories and fostering a better cultural understanding.  We tell stories, not only to evolve and grow as people, but also to make a difference in the world and broaden the perspectives of all human beings.  Being able to reshape the African narrative is crucial to the development of the Continent, and SWoSSP in a small way, hopes to be a guide and a positive beacon.

If you can only afford £1, your contribution would be greatly appreciated because every little helps.

Thank you Sx
