The Miles Morland Foundation Writing Scholarship 2022 Shortlist

I am very excited to share that I was shortlisted for the Miles Morland Foundation Writing Scholarship for a novel proposal. MMF offers writing scholarships to African writers. It's such a great honor to be the only Tanzanian on the list this year. I think it might also be the first time a Tanzanian has been shortlisted for this scholarship.  Is this the Gurnah effect? Anyway, I am so excited to make it this far, and I hope and pray that I go further in the selection process.
