Her Is My Name was written by 13-year-old Narindwa Matikanya. What started as a middle school class assignment about female figures of inspiration in Naridwa's own life as well as the broader world evolved into a full book. The book has since expanded to include a broader spectrum of women, irrespective of time, and how they are influencing her to be the woman she wants to become. The story is personal, relatable, and inspiring.
