We present the first of three special episodes hosted by York University’s Zulfikar Hirji and presented in collaboration with Carleton University’s Beyond Resettlement Conference. (https://carleton.ca/uganda-collection/beyond-resettlement/) Hafsa Zayyan is half-Nigerian, half-Pakistani and was born and raised (mostly) in the UK. She is a dispute resolution lawyer working in the City of London and is also the author of We Are All Birds of Uganda, the winner of MerkyBooks’ inaugural New Writer’s Prize and short-listed for the Goldsboro Glass Bell Award.
