Katherine Edwards
My name is Katherine Isobel Edwards. My pronouns are she/her, but I am also comfortable
with they/them. I am a first-year film and TV student at Wits, and I hope to one day work as a
writer in the film industry. Although, most of my pop culture references are just references to
pop culture references in ‘Community’. I am generally not quoting the actual thing; I am
quoting Abed.

Kourosh Zarei

Avela Swana
Born and raised in South Africa, I have had the liberty to live a life diverse in experience due to the significantly cultured environment and layered history of the land. Through these experiences, I have been able to learn a lot about the philosophies and principles which govern most of our lives. Through writing, I intend on bringing attention to some of the many daily rituals, sacrifices, pains, and challenges I as a South African and citizen of the world, am being consigned to endure.
I find myself empathizing with people and experiences which are removed from myself. Through all I do and hope to do as time goes on, is to bring peace to souls needing some sort of relief. The writings of many before me have shaped the way I think, see and breathe the world in and I have often found myself staring not at words, but at a reflection of my feelings. Through furthering my writing skills and knowledge base, I intend of trying to recreate those moments for the next person.
