Books Feature Writer on Agnes and Lola's 'Playground'
Super excited to announce
that over the next coming months I will be a books feature writer for
Agnes and Lola on their blog - The Playground.
They even ran a feature of me on
their website with a mini-interview on the inspiration behind the blog, female
vs. male authors and the first book I ever read. Here’s a blurb:
‘My grandma, Agnes, yes that
same Agnes :), was an African Children's author, besides her love of fashion,
books were her guiding light, it was the one criteria she never skimped on and
when guests would visit there was plenty to borrow from her eponymous library.
When I stumbled and I call this a very lucky stumble, upon Bookshy: an African book lover
I was emailing Zahrah within minutes of reading her blog because it was
everything I was looking for in a book blog. She is blessed with wit, a way
with words that is so refreshing. Over the coming months we will be featuring
her reviews and other suggestions on Agnes and Lola but before we dive right
in, meet Zahrah’
Agnes and Lola is an independent
online boutique selling items by young designers from across the African
diaspora. On their website they explain that it was ‘born from a love of two
things; independent fashion and the diverse cultures across the African
continent’. As for the name:
‘The name spans three
generations; grandmother Agnes and granddaughter Lola, both creative spirits
influenced through the travels as documented in their love for
literature and fashion’.
It’s a super cool website with some unique one-of pieces and I feel
pretty honoured to be able to contribute to their blog. So head over to Agnes
and Lola for the feature ‘A Love of Books’ and for my soon-to-be features.
