Pemphero Mphande

My name is Pemphero Mphande. I am 25 years old and Malawian. The best way to describe myself is “I am a story teller”. I see a big story in everything. At the end of the day when I get home, I have tens of stories to tell. Of late I have been writing a lot of creative non-fiction for my fans on Facebook and so I am occasionally tempted to think of myself as a creative non-fiction writer. The truth is I do not really know what genre of writing really suits me. All I know is that I love stories and when I begin to write, I become one with every soul on earth; I forget the world around me and words just pour endlessly. I write anything, everything. By profession I am medical laboratory scientist and currently work as the executive director of Forum for AIDS Counseling and training, an NGO I founded, and also as the public relations officer of Umodzi party, a major political party in Malawi with a desire to contest as a member of parliament in 2019. I was born in Blantyre, Malawi and I currently live in the same city also.
