My academic background is in media-studies and African-studies, where I focused on East and southern Africa. Additionally, I have a  few years behind me as a freelancer in journalism and content-production.

Among other projects, I have created a podcast-series about young Norwegian-African identity, a series about being young and queer in Zimbabwe (SAIH) and edited the anthology "Foul play in the Congo" on the French and Moland case. See digital (non-fiction) portfolio here 

Write fiction, long and short, as well as non-fiction pieces (more here).

Recently published childrens picture-book Krussedullehår with BedreVi Forlag, about hair and being different.
