Bio
Editor, journalist, poet and published author, Afrika Brown is a force to be reckoned with. Afrika is known for writing riveting fashion, lifestyle, political and entertainment features. Her bold and entertaining writing style has been featured in BlackBallot.com, Whitehot Magazine for Contemporary Art, Petside.com and various freelance writing projects.
She honed her editorial prowess as the Entertainment and Lifestyle Editor for Caribbean POSH Magazine and has interviewed such talent as Persia White, Michelle Williams, Raphael Saadiq, Mario, MIMS, Jill Marie Jones, Tyson Beckford, Roshumba, Custo Dalmau, Leon and Judith Jamison just to name a few. Brown has also served as creative director for various cover and fashion photo shoots.
Her accomplishments at Caribbean POSH Magazine have caught the attention of several media companies and she has served as freelance Editor In Chief for DV8 Magazine and UrbanMETRO Magazine along with other magazine startups.
In 2006, Brown published Sepia Sapphire, a collection of poetry for which she garnered accolades from Poetry.com. In 2007, Afrika’s weekly chapter series Diary of a Break Up was featured by a major online publication.
Afrika is now in talks to turn Sepia Sapphire into an onstage poemography that fuses poetry, music and choreography and is in the process of turning Diary of a Break Up into a paperback novel with Runaway Publications. She is also taking all of her publishing knowledge to create F.A.M.E. NYC, her own online magazine. F.A.M.E. is an acronym for Fashion, Arts, Music and Entertainment and centers on the Mecca for all these industries, NYC.
