About The Author

Sumaya Enyegue is a poet from Cape Town, South Africa, trying to navigate her early twenties while simultaneously juggling med school and spilling her feelings all over social media. When she isn’t writing, you can find her reading, frantically trying to find her stethoscope, or pretending she’s a functioning adult. Her favorite things include the color green, British panel shows, her family, her friends, and Captain Raymond Holt from B99. You can find her ranting about anything and everything @sumayapoetry on Instagram.
