🎤✨ Ayanda Twala | Storyteller of the Unsaid ✨🎤

I write stories that feel like whispered secrets, gospel confessions, and midnight screams into the void. My work explores the raw, the broken, the beautiful - trauma, fame, intimacy, identity, and the haunting weight of things left unsaid.

South African by birth, African in soul. My fiction blends deep emotional truth with lyrical intensity, often walking the fine line between reality and delusion. If you're into dark coming-of-age journeys, psychological spirals, and characters who love too deeply and break too hard - welcome home.

📖 Currently working on: When The Music Stops - a queer, culturally rooted, emotionally charged novel about a pop star whose voice could save the world but might not be enough to save herself.
