Vonds Auguste

Vonds is a vibrant individual originally hailing from Boston, now calling Baltimore home. With a passion for storytelling and a love for exploring new worlds through literature, Vonds is deeply inspired by the works of Octavia Butler, appreciating the complex themes and thought-provoking questions that arise in her narratives. This fascination extends to other influential authors such as Frantz Fanon, whose explorations of decolonization and identity resonate deeply, Patricia Hill Collins, who provides profound insights into intersectionality, and contemporary sci-fi visionaries like N.K. Jemisin and Nnedi Okorafor, whose imaginative worlds offer fresh perspectives on culture and society.

Vonds enjoys engaging in meaningful conversations about identity and culture, always seeking ways to connect with others and deepen their understanding of the world. This curiosity drives Vonds to explore diverse perspectives and engage with issues of representation, equity, and belonging. In their spare time, Vonds delights in immersing themselves in Baltimore’s vibrant arts scene, discovering new music, and attending cultural events that showcase the city’s rich tapestry of creativity and expression.
