Sema Live | Episode 7 – Achieng Opiyo on authoring The Color of the Sun
In this episode we interview Kenyan female author Achieng Opiyo on her debut novel The Color of the Sun.
Much like her book, Achieng is not to be judged by her cover. A once soft spoken individual, she explains her journey of finding her voice in her writing, persevering to bring her work to the world through a unique self-publishing journey.
Her novel falls into the romance genre, but carries compelling themes of crime, drama and mystique narrated with a Kenyan voice and outlook. These deeper themes are based on realistic issues faced by many in modern society.
Through this novel, Achieng hopes to bring light to these issues, and provide a story of hope to any who may be facing similar trials.
