About

Poetry is my springboard, everywhere I go.

Africa is a poem is founded and led by the iconic Mandi Vundla.
also known as the only two-time undefeated Word N Sound slam champ,
poet-mentor, Poetry Africa resident slam coach and former editor of the
Actor Spaces Magazine.

Africa Is A Poem began as a poetic inquiry into the captivating nature of African story-telling culture,
probing: what makes our stories that deep? And if they are that deep, can the economy of our words
rise beyond the stage to sustain the author? If so, how?
