This episode of Nomwe I ask my guest and close friend Vimbai Gwata ( a digital media enthusaist, tech industry consultant and self-confessed bibliophile who founded the Harare BookClub upon her relocation to Zimbabwe in 2015). Vimbai's presence can be found across the vast interwebs via her catchy moniker 'VimfromZim'. Her interests are broad, her memory long and her writing is of the rambling and witty variety. Vimbai blooms where she is planted.
