Biko Dylan

I grew up in Kempton Park, Johannesburg. I'm a firm believer that my area, amongst other factors, molded me into the creative that I am. At first glance my neighbourhood seems 'dark' and bad but upon observation one notices the beauty of it. I feel like my writings connect to readers in the same way.
I remember writing a story in primary school, it was a paranormal story and my mother saw it. She asked me about it, I could see that she was shocked at what I wrote but she still supported me. My whole family supports me. That's something I will never take for granted. I grew up in a house that supported my dreams and I feel like that is my biggest influence:
My family.

For a very long time, writing has been my form of therapy. It allowed me to not only escape the harshness of reality but to find and create myself.
Once I realised that there are many people who I relate to and who relate to me I began sharing my work.
The joy of sharing is something that, to me, never fades.
