Frashia (Sonnie) Karanja writes at the meeting point of nursing and storytelling. Drawing on years spent bearing witness to the body in crisis, she turns her attention in fiction and essay to what often goes unsaid, the grief, tenderness, survival, and the weight of memory in ordinary families. She co-founded Narrative Medicine Africa to give these stories room to become something communal: care, advocacy, healing. Her work has found homes in Rafinki, Lend Me a Whisper, Kalahari Publishers, and Brittle Paper, with forthcoming pieces in Doek! Magazine, & CASIN and Afro Femme. She has participated in workshops including the Qwani Memoir and Biography Workshop with Dr. Joyce Nyairo, a self-editing masterclass with Ellah Wakatama, and the Creatives Ghana Project with Boakye D. Alpha.
