Hi. I'm Irene Matete.
Some call me a storyteller.
Some call me a helper.
Some say I carry too many stories to keep silent.
A heartbreaking collection of Tales of Love, Loss and Survival.

From the scent of despair in "The smell of Keg" to the courage of a woman escaping in "The night Nafula escaped", these stories reveal the strength and struggle of everyday people.
