Emmanuel Iduma, I AM STILL WITH YOU: A Reckoning with Silence, Inheritance, and History

Zibby speaks to award-winning author Emmanuel Iduma about I Am Still With You: A Reckoning with Silence, Inheritance, and History, a powerful, transcendent, and lyrical memoir about his journey through Nigeria as he searches for the truth about his missing uncle. Emmanuel describes the culture shock he experienced when he moved to New York City for his art criticism degree and reveals why he ultimately returned to Nigeria. He also talks about his love of photography, the role that homesickness has played in his life, how he grieved his mother’s death through writing, and the importance of dreams in his culture and life.
