SP K-Mushambi is happiest when she is creating. It could be writing a song, baking a yummy cake or inventing her own version of the latest dance craze (which according to reliable sources means she is doing it all wrong). She believes that literature and media that reflect our stories, our experiences and our images are essential for inspiring self-esteem and a sense of belonging.
