The Hairdresser of Harare by Tendai Huchu was our 'Book of the Month' for June.
Such a good read, and we're excited to be having our discussion about this beautiful beautiful book later tonight😍😎
One of the highlights was @komolafe_rose changing her backgrounds to Victoria Falls and the Zimbabwean flag😂
