Ooluss Louisa Ibhaze started writing at a very early age with her friends and sisters as her proofreaders. “I love the ability to create characters and make them do what I want!”  Coming from a large family, growing up was fun and there was always something to gossip about. She had the privilege to travel vastly and live in many places, thus learning different cultures and languages. Her writing is greatly influenced by her Christian faith, African culture and life experiences and other abstracts in daily existence! With regards to poetry, she is particularly fascinated by the weather and tries to personify it in many ways. At present she works as a freelance editor and Programme Officer for Research and Documentation.
