Non-Fiction & Memoir

Two brave books about things our communities tend to keep quiet. Chude Jideonwo's memoir walks through clinical depression, faith and the slow work of recovery with a candour that's still rare in Nigerian public life, and Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah's manifesto asks what a joyful, self-determined African sexuality could look like. Neither is an easy read, but both are the kind of book that opens conversations you didn't know you needed.
