Africans sharing our stories

Yolisa Qunta

Writer

My name is Yolisa Qunta and I’m one of those people who like to photograph every morsel of food before I eat it. I run half marathons, collect books, travel the world, drink wine and write.

What do I write? Spicy tweets, newspaper columns, online op-eds, critically acclaimed books (okay just one so far;) and everything on this site.  Writing in the digital space works for me as there is no self-censoring and I can immediately share my thoughts with you. Said thoughts range from pop culture to travel to whats happening in whatever city I find myself in at the time.  Since we are on this journey together I encourage you to join in the fun by commenting, sharing on social media or dropping an email to let me know what you think. - Yolisa Qunta
