Stephen Omondi

What is the title of the book you'd like to talk about?
Voices of My Old Self

How did your writing journey begin?
As far as I can remember I have always kept a journal where I record my experiences. I was in class three when I owned my first journal. In it I scribbled what I thought I couldn't share with other people. It was my little secret. When some of my cousins found out about it, and read a very personal note, I had to destroy the journal. I figured that if they reported me to my uncle, they would need some evidence. And with the journal gone, I would have no case to answer. Other than that, grammar was my favorite subject in school, and I enjoyed writing those compositions and later, essays. I would study the dictionary looking for any vocabulary that resonated with my writing.

What inspires you to keep writing?
Other than the energy of love, sharing knowledge with this and the next generation. Keeping in mind that the next generation for me is actually my children.

Tell us about what inspired you to write this book
I experienced an awakening that changed my perception of life. After spending a long time contemplating the new version I had become, I started a YouTube channel and blog to share what I had gotten from my experience. After some time, I felt like putting that information into a book, because then, I would be able to express myself in different ways.
