Golden Baobab Prize for Litreature

Create a Pan-African literary award, the Golden Baobab prize, to inspire the creation of African stories for children and young adults, written by African authors. As stated on her organizations’ website, “A continent so large and richly diverse has tons of wonderful stories to share with young people everywhere: where [are] these stories?”
Where are these stories? Deborah believes they are in the hearts and minds of many aspiring writers both young and old. Her award, which is in its second year, hopes to bring these nascent authors to a global audience.
