'My determination to combat the dearth of representation in dominant art spaces was emboldened by the new crop of voices – including writers like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Junot Díaz, Taiye Selasi, and Binyavanga Wainaina – coming out of historically marginalised spaces. They were telling their own stories using variants of inherited colonial languages and in so doing, staking a claim to their existence.'
