Keliel Tchibota, born in Pointe-Noire, holds a literary baccalaureate and a degree in human resources. His professional career in various sectors has allowed him to acquire enriched experience. Executive assistant at UCAC-ICA, she is today founder of an events agency “Céleste Joy”, specializing in the organization of public and private events.
“Survivor”, her very first book, is a moving story which highlights the journey of a woman, Ella, locked in a golden prison, that is to say a marriage which imposes oppressive constraints. Although this prison seems golden, for Ella it becomes a space of struggle to find inner freedom and personal fulfillment. It is an invitation to overcome obstacles, to dare beyond social expectations and the sacrifices demanded in the name of love. The author was inspired by the daily realities of women who, too often, fade away or sacrifice themselves to meet external demands, leaving behind their own convictions and passions.
Writing is for the young writer an outlet and a struggle allowing her to achieve a sort of catharsis in relation to what she experiences in society. It becomes for her a place of refuge, a sort of relief from the evils of this world; a way to surpass and surpass, to live as if in another world, because her writings are the reflection of certain intimate feelings that she was unable to translate into words. “ It is a way to express emotions and thoughts that do not always find words to describe in everyday life. It’s also a way for me to face certain realities and address subjects that are close to my heart”she said.
As a writer, she draws deep inspiration from life’s personal experiences and struggles. The young Congolese author is particularly touched by stories of resilience, transformation, and the quest for oneself. His themes of reflection include the search for freedom, sacrifice, love and reinvention. “I firmly believe that at some point in our lives we must face choices that redefine who we are and what we want to become. The themes I address concern my own struggle for life to free myself from the constraints imposed by society. Through my writings, I seek not only to free myself, but also to encourage reflection in others, to arouse emotions and questions about life’s issues.she said.
The young author also indicated that Congolese literature continues to make its mark from year to year not only here in the country, but beyond the borders. It is one of the most beautiful, the most prestigious, with big names who have remained engraved in world literature. It is a literature of great richness with names like Alain Mabankou, and many others who are today at the top of the bill within the French-speaking world. The spectrum is very broad and continues to expand. It includes poets, playwrights and novelists, often young, some of whom do not hesitate to think outside the box to write in national languages.
