Mutsa Diana Shiripinda (1991 - 2018)
Africa in Dialogue would not be possible without the influence and contribution of Mutsa Diana Shiripinda, a warrior who has since joined the ancestral realm.
Mutsa Diana Shiripinda was a 20-something Zimbabwean spoken word poet and broadcast graduate. Born in Harare and raised in Gaborone, Botswana; Mutsa was the first person ever interviewed by Africa in Dialogue’s founding editor. She was the visual director of Africa in Dialogue’s first issue.
