Aleya Kassam is a feminist, storyteller, writer and performer. She is widely experimental: from page to stage, screen to speaker, micro fiction to memory poems, docu-theatre to participatory filmmaking – she loves to play with how people experience story. Aleya’s nonfiction writing has been described by Nanjala Nyabola as 'shuffling between personal narrative and political observation, the work allows you to take a step back and think about the real impact of political or social issues on the individual.’ Her work explores the spaces between imagination and memory, often using ritual as a way to access those realms, and her writing has been published and performed around the world. She is also a co-founder of the award-winning content studio, The LAM Sisterhood, which fills the world with stories for African women to feel seen, heard, and beloved such as Brazen staged with Too Early For Birds, and the children’s podcast KaBrazen.
