Mike Boyd

Michael Boyd is a peripheral member of the Angama family, having curated our proudly all African book and DVD libraries — a task suitable for a PhD candidate in African Literature. His debut novel "The Weight of Shade" was long listed for The Sunday Times Award (2024), while his short story "Mama Blue" was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Prize (2023). Mike has worked at various film festivals and is the former director of the Cambridge African Film Festival before returning home to Africa to teach high school English in 2013. One of his great joys has been to play witness to Angama's story unfold - one he just might write one day.
