About Nekesa Afia

Afia was brought up in Alberta Canada and spent her childhood and teenage years in the 1990s and early 2000s. During this time, it was difficult if not impossible to find novels that had explicitly black characters. When her parents brought home Jessi’s Gold Medal of the Baby-Sitters Club, it was the first time she ever saw a cover with a black girl. She would become a fiend of the series and now has more than three hundred novels from it. She first thought she should write when she read a novel set in the prohibition era that had a Mary Poppins like character. One thing about Afia is that she never liked reading novels with perfect characters as they lacked excitement. As she read the novel, she knew that if she ever wrote her character would have to be the opposite of flawless. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Harlem Renaissance Mystery Books series, Nekesa Afia has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
