Jedidiah Mugarura

Jedidiah Mugarura (they/them) is a storyteller descended from the people of Nkore. Their storytelling seeks to find and reimagine the missing vowels to the songs we once sang before colonial violence, to project a future of agency and possibility for those still negotiating their bodies in empire. Their poems appear in Brittle Paper, Humber Literary Review, Obsidian: Literature and Arts in the African Diaspora, and Ampersand Review. You can read their prose in issue 5 of Lolwe and issues 133 and 136 of Transition. Their play, “Tomorrow Never Came,” was staged in New York in June 2025 by the National Queer Theater.
