Expert Writer - Why I Became a Writer

Years back , my grand father used to tell me about our  stolen  Kingdom. " My grand father King Mussabwa Mundi was assassinated by his relatives for power. Many members of our family  lost their lives in that silent war of  kingship, " my grand father said. I promised him to write a book called  " Stolen Kingdom " when I would grow up and he would be the top narrator. I was 10 years old doing 4th grade " I will be happy when the world will come to know about the assassination of my grand father through your book, " he said. I started  improving  my writing skill to please him in  the future... as we agreed. I firstly became the secretary of the church youth  group when I was doing secondary ,I was able to write  french and swahili reports. " You wipe out my yearly tears ,I believe now that you will write the book dear , live long to see your sons , grand sons and great grand sons, " he told me. Words of encouraging  from the mouths of an old man who was healed by words. I wrote some essays, short stories , poems in French and Swahili but I failed to publish them due to lack of publishing houses in those years. I stayed focus on my writing carrier  inspired by the bible. When I was at University , I became a volunteer secretary general of the women for non violence and fighting  against Sexual Transmission disease. Few years Later,  the rebelions and tribal conflicts continued rising  in Southern Kivu, I left my country to South Africa. I started to improve my English speaking and writing so I could  write for my new english readers as well. I learned Zulu language and wrote some Zulu gospel songs. Few years later I published at amazon.com my first book called ," Born to Light Africa... the war between Christians and Antichrists. " Later on,  I collaborated with an other writer,  then we published a book of short stories and poems called ," Remember Your Roots ...Milk and honey in Africa only." A year later , I volunteered to be secretary general of the Ambassadors of Love " Non Profit Organisation " for some years. In 2021, I became a volunteer secretary and  publishing  director of the Yao Kingdom Foundation. Last year December , I published a history book called , " African's Hidden Treasure ... Right and Wrong Eyes." The love of writing made me to Volunteer in many writing groups, Non Profit Organizations, Schools, Churches and some  websites in many years. So writing is one of my best professions. April 02/2023
