Born October 1986 in Luanshya Zambia, last-born child of teachers James Malama and Kwilole Malama, Chisanshi K Malama was no stranger to the world of books. 2003-2006 Malama attended Larkmead School in Abingdon UK. Here she studied Drama and Theater Studies often telling her teachers and parents that she was destined for the stage. Still she never let go of Literature and chose to study it further in A-levels. It was no surprise then that going on to De Montfort University she chose to study law but in her words ”my lecturers tried to encourage me to write more like the lawyer I was training to be. My hand often ignored this request and went off in wave of emotive language. In the end we settled for allowing me a little poem at the beginning of my essays. It was the only way I could make a plan for my essays and follow the train of thought. My essays and grades improved by a mile! ” During her time in University she attended poetry nights and published a few of her early works on various blogs and sites. |
