They say I am insane because I publicly speak truths that angels dare not whisper.
Stella Nyanzi
Stella Nyanzi’s words are searing, she plans to topple a dictator with them. She was imprisoned for her poem on facebook that called the President of Uganda, Museveni, a diseased foetus that should not have been born. Her 18 months in prison have made her bolder, angrier and more determined to create change in Uganda.
