In this episode of Books That Changed My Life, host Chris Collins sits down with writer and director Nyasha Hatendi, the creative mind behind Sacrilege: Curse of The Mbirwi. Nyasha opens up about the book that fundamentally reshaped his understanding of identity, invisibility, and the complexity of being seen: Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison.

Through a powerful and personal conversation, Nyasha reflects on how Ellison’s seminal novel illuminated the nuances of race, belonging, and self-definition—both in the world he grew up in and the one he continues to help shape through his work in film and storytelling.

Join us for a deep dive into a literary classic and discover why Invisible Man still resonates with such urgency and clarity in Nyasha's life and art.
