Michelle Kayosa-Ajayi is a Zambian/Nigerian Urban Planner living in Maryland. While she has lived in the States for the majority of her life, she still has strong ties to the Zambian culture that raised her. In an effort to bring a ray of light to our current reality, Michelle is in the process of actualizing a long time dream of launching a book club that focuses on the literary expressions of authors in the diaspora. Stay Tuned!
Xenia Ruiz is a community resident in Northern Virginia and has worked in public service, the public interest, and advocacy for over 15 years.
