About Wakandha

Wakandha started from a small frustration: most lifestyle writing either sells you something or performs a mood. We wanted a place for the slower, more specific version of daily life, the kind that doesn't photograph well but is what people actually remember.

That's the promise in our tagline, life, in full colour. Not a highlight reel, just the texture of how people actually live, eat, move, and talk to each other.

Here's what you'll find across the site:

• Life, the everyday systems and small decisions that shape a place, from neighbourhood streets to city budgets.
• Culture, the people making and remaking the visible parts of a city, murals, buildings, public space.
• Wellbeing, the body and the nervous system, told through practice rather than trend.
• Voices, personal essays about memory, family, and the streets people pass without seeing.

Who writes it

Aïcha Rahmani, Editor-in-chief, Marseille. Aïcha leads Wakandha's editorial direction, especially drawn to stories where urban policy and daily life collide.

Senna Verhoeven, Wellbeing writer, Ghent. Senna writes about the body as a slow-moving instrument, testing most of what she covers on herself first.

Callum Ashworth, Culture correspondent, Leeds. Callum covers the visible edges of cities and who gets to shape them.

Inês Tavares, Voices editor, Porto. Inês edits and writes the personal essays that anchor our Voices section.
