The Long Table
Food as an argument
The prompt
A story where food is doing more work than just being food — an inheritance, an apology, a fight nobody's having out loud. Kitchens, markets, the one dish that means something specific in your family and nobody else's.

Open to writers across Africa and the diaspora.
Previously unpublished stories only.
One entry per writer. Submit through the writer's editor.

The winning story's author got a full manuscript read at Narriva, plus a featured slot on the Kekere homepage for one month.
