Reading and writing as a kid were integral to where I am today and I, from the bottom of my heart, cannot wait to hear your stories and get them out into the big wide world.STORMZY Author Biography Chelsea Kwakye (Author)Chelsea Kwakye is a first-class honours History graduate from Homerton College, Cambridge.
