About the Author
Kwoodz (aka Kamilah Haywood)—a queer, Black, Canadian fiction author of Jamaican heritage—writes books depicting the unfiltered, authentic, and occasionally dark side of Toronto life. Through raw details and intimate narratives, they have captured issues from female incarceration to sex trafficking, relationships, coming of age, and spirituality through their intensely gripping novels.
In addition to their creative writing, Kamilah has co-founded a series of writing workshops and events in collaboration with Kya Publishing, encouraging cultural awareness, professional development, and international networking throughout the Black writing community, and creative industries at large.
Kamilah has been appointed to the Board of Directors for the Elizabeth Fry Society (delivering gender-based, trauma informed services, and advocating for justice and equity for women and non-binary people who are criminalized).
