Tessa Leuwsha is schrijver en documentairemaker. Ze debuteerde met het boek 'De Parbo-blues', waarna titels volgden als 'Solo, een liefde', over ambitie en verlangen naar een beter leven in koloniaal Suriname, en 'De wilde vaart', waarin Leuwsha met haar man een bootreis maakt over de Surinaamse rivieren en ze de veerkracht van haar geboorteland onderzoekt. Ook maakte ze de documentaire 'Moeder Suriname', die ze baseerde op haar eigen grootmoeder. Nu komt Leuwsha met het boek ‘Boni’, het verhaal van de Surinaamse held Boni. Ze raakte als tiener gefascineerd door de vrijheidsstrijder over wie zij las in het boek ‘Wij slaven van Suriname’ van Anton de Kom. In ‘Boni’ reist ze hem na, van de moerassen van Suriname tot de archieven en verhalen in Ghana, en brengt ze hem weer tot leven komen met feiten en verhalen. Atze de Vrieze gaat met Tessa Leuwsha in gesprek.
