ABOUT THE AUTHOR(S)

Maggie Wilson is an educator on spirituality, wellness, and cannabis. She is a Nigerian and Creole writer based in southern California. Raised in a small town in southeast Tennessee, she was adopted and raised without knowing her biological family, which led her to create inclusive events, workshops, and courses about spiritual wellness. She was named Healer by a member of The Wutang Clan. Her podcast was the first metaphysical podcast to chart on the Apple Top 100 in Kenya for 12 weeks consecutively. She and her work have been featured in publications such as Forbes, High Times, Merry Jane, and Bloomberg. Find her on Instagram(@metaphysicalaf).

Ejiwa "Edge" Ebenebe is an established illustrator of fantasy, opulence and whimsy. She is a Nigerian-Canadian artist based in BC, Canada. As an immigrant, she wrestles with concepts of community and identity, both within herself and her work, and strives to create representation for voices (particularly Black and/or LGBTQ+ folks) who are often pushed out of positive, empowering narratives. But also echoing in her work is a love for the ethereal, fantasy stories she grew up with. She has worked with clients including Scholastic, Wizards of the Coast and Marvel. Her work has also featured in publications such as F(r)iction, Infected By Art and ImagineFX Magazine. Find her on Instagram (@artofedge).
