On episode 1 of Conversations in Literature, Lexa Lubanga opens up on the moment she was transformed from simply reading for herself to becoming an evangelist of the gospel of literature, with her first exhortation being: "Read Meja Mwangi". She has been called a literary activist, a literary publicist, and a literary dynamo. Making books her purpose, she has carved a unique path for herself, founding a variety of literary endeavours, most famously the Kenyan Readathon. #kenyanliterature #kenyanbooks #kenyanreadathon #booktube
