Beverley Nambozo Nsengiyu

Ugandan writer and mother of two, she dared to found Babishai Niwe (BN) Poetry Foundation (formerly the Beverley Nambozo Poetry Award for Ugandan women), which began in 2008 as a platform for promoting poetry in her beloved homeland. In 2014, the award expanded to encompass entire continent –targeting both men and women. Not satisfied with the award accomplishments, the foundation recently published an anthology of poetry, A Thousand Voices Rising: An Anthology of Contemporary African Poetry, which consists of poets from a variety of African countries.
