I write about African women, that's really my topic. I have no shame or qualm in it because it's a very underrepresented topic, which is part of the reason I started to write.

I always used to say hybrids would rule the world - people who have an understanding of many cultures and can relate to them with ease. And then along came Obama.

The best characters are always wretchedly flawed

Zimbabweans are so smart and witty and able to weave together tons of situations and experiences into terminologies that are just utterly original.

I've always been attracted to action stuff.

My favorite TV shows are Orange Is the New Black, House of Cards, Modern Family, and Veep.

People with nothing to hide don't usually feel the need to say so.
