Poetry
Saraba is a quarterly literary magazine that aims to create unending voices by publishing the finest emerging writers, with a bias for Nigeria, and Africa. Publishes wonderful poetry in the form of chapbooks.
Its publications and website reflect and represent the best of emerging writing mainly from Nigeria, but also from the rest of the African continent. Saraba’s goal is to give emerging writers the opportunity of having their works published. “Emerging writers” is defined loosely, to spark useful dialogue. Saraba is interested in writers working out of Nigeria, whose work show tremendous promise but have hardly been published in a major literary magazine.
The Single Story Foundation is a nonprofit organization which provides storytelling opportunities for Africans at home and in diaspora. The Single Story Foundation challenges the Western narratives, seeks for change in the way the African narrative is told, and foster an environment where young Africans can promote their technological, creative, educational and imaginative achievements or developments. We seek to change the stereotype through visual art, literature, and performing art. At The Single Story Foundation, we believe that storytelling is one of the ways we can fix the damage caused by Western storytelling.

Wasafiri’ is Kiswahili for travelers. The name was chosen because many of those who created the literatures in whichWasafiri was particularly interested have all in some sense been cultural travellers either through migration, transportation or else, in the more metaphorical sense of seeking an imagined cultural home.
