Keshni’s stories are influenced by the two continents she calls home. Born and raised in an apartheid segregated township in South Africa, she now also considers Washington D.C. home. And after a decade here, she has finally gotten used to Orion being the right way up in the night’s sky. Her stories are influenced by her evolving definition of home and belonging, and the tides of political and social change that move us all. She is a member of The Writer’s Center DC and the Maryland Writer’s Association and the SCWBI (Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators)
