Kololo Hill is out now: How to Cope is hosted by writer Becky Howard and psychotherapist Lucy Clyde. We also chat to Neema about what she misses about normal life, how speaking different languages changes your personality, and her top tip for dealing with Covid stress. She talks about coming to terms with a digital launch, and how she manages to get the most out of social media by not letting it dominate her time. Neema had to come to terms with releasing her heralded debut novel Kololo Hill during a pandemic, and moving all her celebrations onto social media. Although often mistaken for an extrovert (like both of us at How To Cope), she found the enforced quiet gave her more energy, allowed her writing to thrive, and discovered it as a form of mindfulness. For author Neema Shah, going into lockdown gave her the chance to embrace living in an introvert’s world.
