Stella Nyanzi is a poet from Uganda who frequently utilised her poetry to criticise the failings, violations and excesses of president Yoweri Museveni’s corrupt, brutal and authoritarian military regime of almost forty years. She was imprisoned twice in maximum-security prison for her poetic writings which offended this president, his wife and family.
While sentenced to eighteen months in Luzira Women’s Prison because of a poem she wrote to commemorate the president’s birthday in 2018, she wrote many poems which were often confiscated and destroyed by prison wardresses. However, she was able to smuggle some poems out of prison, which were published during her imprisonment - under the title of No Roses from My Mouth: Poems from Prison, 2020.
Recent poetry collections are Don’t Come in My Mouth: Poems that Rattled Uganda, 2021, Eulogies of My Mouth: Poems for A Poisoned Uganda, 2022 and Exiled for My Mouth: Poems from Across Borders, 2024.
Stella Nyanzi lives in Bavaria with her three teenage children. She is also a trained medical anthropologist, actively engaged in social justice activism for women and LGBTIQA+ people in exile and back home, and a Ugandan dissident politician belonging to the opposition political party called „Forum for Democratic Change“.
Writing is a tool and weapon that Nyanzi deploys in her non-violent resistance against diverse oppressions in our world today.
