(? - ) Cameroon-born registered nurse, lawyer, academic and author, long in US after much travelling. Her work, which draws exuberantly and learnedly on folklore, sf topoi, Afrofuturism concerns and fabulation in general, takes the form of short stories, many of them assembled as Walking on Cowrie Shells (coll 2021), signalling as a whole a sharp-minded use of the toolkits of Fantastika.
