Doreen Baingana

“First of all, I always like that when a story goes out into the world, it is open to interpretation. The story keeps coming alive, as each person who reads it also recreates it. My intentions are secondary to your impressions as a reader, and I believe that every impression is valid.https://africaindialogue.com/2021/09/10/the-intersection-of-humour-and-tragedy-a-dialogue-with-doreen-baingana/”

“I completely understand you. We have this woeful habit where once a book is borrowed is never returned. They think it is a gift. I don’t know where this culture comes from. On the one hand if one is an avid reader and they want to read and keep your book, I think that it is a plus. But on the other hand, it is just our lack of respect for people’s valued personal property.https://davidkangye.com/doreen-baigana-on-building-a-writing-career/”

“I also wanted to explore how girls become women. It's a whole journey. From little innocent girls who are not yet gendered, suddenly they have to begin seeing themselves as a woman. The process of this transformation through lived experiences is very interesting.”

“I want to potray Africa as it is.”
