ICYMI: There’s still time to check out the current issue of KWELI JOURNAL, including the short story "NOTORIOUS" by MUBANGA KALIMAMUKWENTO. READ the full story on our website→ www.kwelijournal.org/fiction/2026...

Quote graphic of a story excerpt from the current issue of Kweli Journal. TEXT: "Many of them were office workers, freshly middle-class but still wearing the stench of poverty on their heads like a mother's lochia on her newborn's frantic fontanelle. They clung to these bloated dreams for their daughters, as if they would supplant their own unfulfilled ambitions."
NOTORIOUS, MUBANGA KALIMAMUKWENTO kwelijournal.org
