Mawunyo Gbogbo isn’t a hip-hop artist. Nor has she ever wanted be. The only place she dares sing is the shower. Oh okay, maybe in church, but she’s not part of the church choir. A friend once told her she’s the second worst Black person he’s ever seen on a dance floor. That’s right - she wasn’t even distinctive enough to be the worst. So, she’s not a rapper, singer or dancer. Mawunyo is a writer. An author, journalist and songwriter - but she only writes the lyrics - she’s more than happy to stay in her lane and leave the music part to the experts. Mawunyo’s debut book is called ‘Hip Hop & Hymns’ because those are two things that define her - hip-hop music and Christianity - but she’s tussled with both. ‘Hip Hop & Hymns’ is about that tussle. It’s a coming-of-age memoir that explores love, family, faith, career, identity, the criminal justice system, mental health, and resilience. Mawunyo is currently working on her second book and debut novel ‘It Takes One to Know One’.
