Hashtags: The dumbest, smartest, funniest, deepest things I've ever (and never) said about love, politics, and everything in between

Vengesayi playfully titles his book 'Hashtags: The Dumbest, Smartest, Funniest, Deepest Things I’ve Ever (and never) Said About Love, Politics, and Everything in Between' as a salute to the hashtagging phenomenon that is synonymous with social media. Navigating through different topics (hashtags) about love and relationships, politics and social issues, he delicately balances the intellect in his writing with his ability to connect with readers and their human experiences in a personal and sometimes, self-deprecating manner. Zimbabwean by birth, African oral tradition has left a deep-rooted impression on the author. Both his writing and storytelling style exhibit and paint a picture of an in-depth understanding and appreciation of one of the most important tenets of African oral tradition: every story should have a moral.
