Yolanda Chakava

Yolanda Chakava loves superhero and action movies, but often wondered why the main characters do not look like her, or share her lived experiences. Yolanda wrote this book to tell modern, heroism stories about growing up in Kenya and 'villains' seen in everyday lives. She celebrates the beauty of the country, but most of all, the spirit and courage of black girls.
