Malel is a Kenyan creative writer who explores the raw, unfiltered intersections of desire, power, and human vulnerability. Her work unapologetically delves into the darkness we often hide, the contradictions we live with, and the intensity of modern relationships.
Through prose and poetry, she captures the complexity of love, lust, and longing—the kind that doesn't fit neatly into boxes. Her writing is visceral, honest, and unflinching, inviting readers to confront their own shadows while finding beauty in the chaos.
Based in Nairobi, Malel writes about the tension between tradition and rebellion, control and surrender, attachment and freedom. Her voice is distinctly East African yet universally human—speaking to anyone who has ever felt caught between who they are and who they're expected to be.
