Lauryn Mwale is a writer and intersectional feminist living in London.

She graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a degree in Mathematics in August 2021. The Shuri Effect was borne of her own frustrations; she had been the lone Black person in her University Maths lectures and had felt the layered pressure being Black and female in that space.

Creating this book has been therapeutic, shocking and has galvanised her into becoming a louder advocate for representation.

In her spare time, Lauryn can always be found reading a book or watching something so be sure to ask for a recommendation
