Who said, “Keep your face to the sunshine, and you can never see the shadow?” Well, it matters little as it doesn’t relate to Wangui Mbugua’s story in any way. What’s interesting about Wangui, though, is that she was nuts about Egypt when she was young, so nuts that she wanted to study Egyptology.
She might have ended up as a university professor, a museum curator, or a teacher of classical languages in some unsentimental, far-flung country with bruising winters.
