I loved hearing the authors read from their books at the @iskanchipress.bsky.social book launch! Thank you for inviting me to speak about my experiences as a literary translator.
My favorite thing about translating Aminta Dupuis's novel THE CHILD FROM DINDEFELLO FALLS was learning about #Senegal!

Saturday's book launch was everything.
The authors showed up. Stories were shared. One person told Aminta Dupuis: "You wrote a song rather than a book, and it's beautiful."
That's the thing about African literature—it doesn't just tell stories. It sings them.

2 best things about being a professional translator:
1. amplifying unique voices, such as #Mauritanian author Moussa Ould Ebnou
2. helping students, travelers, expats, and immigrants with certified translations
