Hello, I’m Fatima-Zahra Kassim, and I’m excited to introduce you to Koyi da Zahra! The name, inspired by my Hausa heritage, translates to “Learn with Zahra.” My deep passion for Africa and the need to counteract its misrepresentation in the media has driven me to share the continent’s untold stories.
During my middle school years, I engaged in speech and debate, performing pieces that highlighted African experiences. This early exposure to storytelling sparked a desire to reach a broader audience.
Koyi da Zahra is the result of a curious mind and a strong desire to learn and share. No matter where you are in life, remember the mission: “Ku koyi da kyau” — to learn well. Join me on this journey of discovery and growth.
