Alice Takawira is a Zimbabwean-born author and physical therapist. She earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Zimbabwe before her career took her to London and, in 2004, to the United States. She earned a Master of Public Health from Emory University, and now lives in Atlanta with her husband and their two children.

 

When she’s not writing, working as a geriatric physical therapist, or chauffeuring her children to their after-school activities, Alice enjoys unwinding with a glass of wine and binge-watching foreign-language dramas. She loves traveling, sampling new cuisines, and learning a few greetings in the local language wherever she goes.

 

Alice is a member of the Atlanta Writers Club and founder of the Verenga Girls Book Club. Her experiences across Zimbabwe, London, and Atlanta and her career in healthcare, have helped shape the multicultural stories and characters at the heart of her writing.
