An Interview with Veronica Nduku
There are moments when words arrive like medicine, not to erase our pain but to remind us that we are not alone in it. At Mushila Writes, we believe storytelling is more than ink on paper — it is a bridge between struggle and strength, between silence and song.
This conversation with Veronica Nduku is not just an interview; it is an invitation. An invitation to pause, breathe, and listen to the quiet wisdom of your own body. Healing is not about rushing forward or pretending to be unbroken. It is about gentleness, presence, and trust — the same values explored in Victor Mushila’s book titled I Was Here Before I Was Born: SON OF THE PRIEST. As you read, may you find echoes of your own journey. May these words remind you that even before birth, your soul carried a language of resilience, waiting to fulfill a purpose.
And sometimes, healing comes with laughter. Come, let’s laugh like hyenas and remember that joy is also medicine:
Veronica Nduku (Guest): For me, it was during a season of deep exhaustion…
Veronica: This is human work, not religious work…
Veronica: I hope they feel steadier…
Closing Reflection
Healing is not a race, nor is it about perfection. It is about presence, gentleness, and trust. These are the same themes Victor Isaacs Mushila expands upon in his book I Was Here Before I Was Born: Son of the Priest, where personal story meets universal truth.
If these words resonate with you, consider them an invitation: pause, breathe, and notice what your body is saying today. Then, dive deeper into the journey through the book — a companion for anyone seeking resilience and faith in uncertain times.

Along the way, the story confronts unsettling questions that echo through every human life:
- Why would someone build a house and never live in it?
- Why would life give a child to someone who throws it away, but refuse one to someone who would love it?
- If souls choose their lives, why would anyone choose suffering?
- And if we existed before birth, why do we forget?
- And what happens to the fire when the candle burns out?
These questions are not meant to discourage, but to awaken reflection — inviting readers to laugh, cry, and wonder at the mysteries of existence. Just as laughter can rise unexpectedly, like hyenas in the night, so too can wisdom emerge from the most unsettling places.
