Multiply Featured writer

I'm Amari, a 30-something, workaholic mother of a teen who is set out to make grey hair pop on my head like popcorn. Soon to be the mother of a cat.

I write a lot about black women and women, focusing on identity, resilience, relationships, and cultural experiences, because that's who I know best as a French woman of African heritage.

Travelling and learning about different cultures are my passions; they seep through in my writing. Don't hesitate to come and tell me about where you're from; it might be my next destination or a new character's home.

I write about annoying, infuriating, adorable humans, exploring themes like family, friendship, prejudice, and personal growth. You'll find many social themes in my stories. Clichés here, it's pure entertainment. I'm here to make you laugh, vibrate, hope, and dream with characters that are closer to home.

Goals:
Reach 1K followers (almost 10y here!).
* Complete 4 stories in 2026.
* Win a Watty award, yes, I said it!
* Publish a tangible book!
