Lumumba: Africa’s Lost Leader b...
Patrice Lumumba (1926-61) is perhaps the most famous leader of the African independence movement. He became an icon of anti-imperialist struggle after his execution in 1961, when he had been the prime minister of the newly liberated Congo for only seven months. As the news came out, his picture was brandished in demonstrations in capitals around the world, along with those of Che Guevara and Mao Zedong. His life and the independence that he sought for the Congo made him a pivotal figure of the twentieth century, exposing ongoing Western colonialism and the problematic nature of the independence granted to huge swathes of the globe after 1945.
In this book, revised and updated to include new thinking on the Congo crisis and incorporating material recently released from British intelligence archives, Leo Zeilig tells the story of the Congo in the dying days of colonialism and of Lumumba’s transition from nationalist to revolutionary to international symbol of African liberation.

JOGOO ROAD DREAMS. A True Nairobi Adv...
Nairobi does not wait for anyone.
When Cassan and Mulwa move into a tiny room above garages along Jogoo Road, they arrive with little more than ambition, street instincts, and a stubborn belief that tomorrow must be better than today. Surrounded by the chaos of matatus, hustlers, nightlife, corrupt deals, music culture, flooded streets, and endless survival battles, the two young men quickly discover that Nairobi is both a dream factory and a dangerous battlefield.
By day, they chase jobs that never call back.
By night, they hustle through the city selling phone covers, filming underground music videos, navigating risky friendships, and trying to stay alive in a place where one wrong decision can destroy everything.
But as opportunities begin to appear, so do temptations.
Money changes people.
Power attracts danger.
And the city tests every weakness.
Set against the raw, electric energy of modern Nairobi, JOGOO DREAMS is a gripping coming-of-age urban adventure about brotherhood, resilience, ambition, betrayal, creativity, and survival in one of Africa’s fastest-moving cities.
Filled with authentic street life, emotional realism, humor, struggle, music, and hope, this novel captures the heartbeat of a generation fighting to build something meaningful from nothing.
For dreamers.
For hustlers.
For survivors.
Welcome to Jogoo Road.
THE HOUSEKEEPER’S LIE
The Teaser
I am the invisible girl.
I polish the Sterlings' silver. I fluff their pillows. I scrub the stains from their expensive white rugs. To Julian Sterling, I am a broken thing—a housekeeper with "missing hours" and a fragile mind he needs to protect. He thinks he’s gaslighting me into believing I’m a monster to keep me under his thumb.
He’s half right.
I’m not the victim in this house. I’m the architect.
Every "blackout" is a performance. Every "accident" is a trap. I’ve been waiting ten years to get inside this house, and now that I’m here, I’m going to make sure the Sterlings destroy each other before they even realize I’m the one holding the matches.
In this house, the help doesn’t just clean up the mess. She creates it.
AFRO-CENTRIC FUTURES .The Education o...
She built it to teach. They used it to watch.
At twenty-three, Zuri Odhiambo was the prodigy of the tech world, a brilliant Kenyan coder who created Mwalimu—an open-source AI tutor designed to bring education to the most remote corners of the continent. She believed a tool built with good intentions could only ever be used for good.
She was wrong.
Now twenty-four and disillusioned, Zuri walks away from a high-stakes Silicon Valley career and returns to her grandmother’s village on the shores of Lake Victoria. But the home she remembers is gone. In its place is the Lake Belt Lithium Project, a massive industrial mine fueling the global green energy revolution.
As the mine lights turn the lake into mercury every night at 6:47 PM, Zuri discovers a devastating truth: her beautiful code has been weaponized. Mwalimu is no longer a teacher; it is a predictive policing system for the Ministry of Interior, used to flag "at-risk" youth and neutralize resistance before it even begins.
Caught between a mentor who sold her soul to military contractors and a childhood love who is now the leader of the Mau Mau Digital Resistance, Zuri must navigate a landscape where data is the new gold and attention is the new territory.
AFRO-CENTRIC FUTURES is a fierce, sensual, and unsparing techno-thriller about the "new scramble for Africa." It is the story of a young woman who must learn to unbuild what she made, to resist without becoming the enemy, and to discover that the things worth building are not the things that scale—but the things that hold.

Djembe DRUMBEAT. A Story from the Hea...
Until the lion learns to write, every story will glorify the hunter."
— African Proverb
For every child who has ever felt far from home —
the rhythm never left you.
For the grandmothers who hummed while they worked,
the grandfathers who drummed through the night,
the teachers who taught us that Africa is not a place on a map —
it is a song in your chest.
And for the dreamers who are writing new stories —
this one belongs to you.
Ama and the Drumbeat of Home
This story follows a child who learns that cultural identity is portable. You
can leave your village, cross borders, enter unfamiliar spaces—and still carry
your home within you. This is the Ubuntu philosophy in action: "I am because we
are," but also, "We are because I remember."
In an era where African children increasingly navigate between traditional
spaces and global ones, this story offers a bridge. It says: You do not have to
choose between worlds. You can be a child of the village and a citizen of the
world, because the drumbeat travels with you.
May this story find its way into classrooms from Lagos to Nairobi, from
Kumasi to Kinshasa—and may every child who reads it hear their own rhythm more
clearly.
THE HARMONY OF THE FOREST
From Hope to Despair: The Betrayal of...
From Hope to Despair: The Betrayal of Kenya’s Educated Youth is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the struggles facing a generation that was taught to believe that education is the surest path to success.
Through the experiences of young graduates and job seekers, the book examines the widening gap between promise and reality in contemporary Kenya. It tells the story of ambitious young people who leave their villages and communities armed with degrees, skills, and dreams, only to encounter unemployment, underemployment, corruption, inequality, and a system that often seems stacked against them.
Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing nation, the book highlights the emotional and economic toll of broken expectations while celebrating the resilience, determination, and ingenuity of Kenya’s youth. It raises difficult questions about governance, education, opportunity, and social justice, challenging leaders and citizens alike to confront the barriers that prevent talented young people from realising their full potential.
Both a social commentary and a human story, From Hope to Despair is a compelling account of hope deferred, dreams tested, and the urgent need to create a future in which education once again serves as a bridge to opportunity rather than a pathway to frustration.
This book is essential reading for students, educators, policymakers, parents, and anyone concerned about the future of Kenya and the fate of its most valuable resource—its young people.
Zuri and the Mobile Market
A devastating flood. A broken community. One girl with a big idea.
Eleven-year-old Zuri Wanjiku loves the vibrant chaos of Nairobi, but when a catastrophic flood tears through the city, the heartbeat of her community—the Gikomba Market—falls silent. The waters don't just wash away stalls; they sever the vital links between urban traders and the rural farmers, like Zuri’s grandmother in Kiambu, who feed the city.
As the supply chains break and the shelves go empty, Zuri realizes that the solution isn't found in expensive gadgets or Silicon Valley apps. Inspired by the historical rhythms of African communication—from the ancestral beat of the ngoma drum to the modern revolutionary spirit of M-Pesa—Zuri and her tech-savvy friend Juma set out to build something revolutionary: Soko Mpya (The New Market).
Using only basic feature phones and the power of SMS technology, Zuri leads a digital revolution rooted in the ancient spirit of Ubuntu—the belief that I am because we are. But building the code is only half the battle. To succeed, Zuri must navigate the skepticism of market elders, the logistics of boda boda (motorcycle) delivery networks, and the reality that true innovation is about people, not just platforms.
Why Middle-Grade Readers, Parents, and Educators Will Love Zuri:
• Real-World Heroism: Features a relatable young protagonist who uses empathy, observation, and logic to solve a community crisis.
• The Silicon Savannah: Offers a rare, authentic look at African innovation, digital finance, and social entrepreneurship.
• Intergenerational Wisdom: A touching story about the bond between a tech-forward granddaughter and a wisdom-keeping grandmother.
• STEM with Heart: An exciting introduction to systems thinking, design iteration, and "frugal innovation" for ages 8–12.
Zuri and the Mobile Market is a high-stakes adventure that proves you don't need a high-tech lab to change the world—you just need the courage to look at your own community and ask, "How can I help?"
The future of technology is African. And Zuri is leading the way.
