About Me

HADASSAH LOUIS'
OTHER NAMES: Esther Mwema



               "
It's all in a name. Hadassah is my middle name, Louis is my favorite name (or at least was when I created my first gmail account.) Now, it is synonymous with my written work as a budding novelist, author, and activist. Call me Hadassah, call me Esther. I love you all the same.
