Ayana Kalifa Sarafina Latifah John is from St. Barb’s Laventille, Trinidad and Tobago. Her passion for writing started at the tender age of eight when she began writing short stories, poems and songs. At the age of twelve she got the inspiration to write her very first book and two-part series, called Love & Drama. On Saturday 30th November 2024, she published ten books at once, also known as the ‘Epic Ten’. These books encapsulate all the tenets of good drama: love, suspense, climax, disappointment, relationships, faith and hope. In writing these books she hopes to provide stories that readers can identify with; to highlight that despite our many differences we all have similar trials and tribulations which we can overcome through love and faith, and most importantly, it’s always good to have a good ol’ laugh.
