Hannah Ajala

Literary Agent: Emily MacDonald

Hannah Ajala is an international journalist currently specialising in podcasts for organisations like the BBC and CBC, and has spent the past three years travelling across Africa working on a range of stories and broadcasting for international and local organisations. A lot of her work specialises in real life storytelling, women’s empowerment, culture and art, fashion and music current affairs, and most recently, true crime. She's passionate about shedding positive and engaging light on stories coming from communities which are often misrepresented and marginalised.

Hannah is also the founder of We Are Black Journos, an events and networking platform connecting and celebrating Black journalists. She wanted to create a safe space and platform for Black journalists, who shockingly only make up 0.4% of journalists in the UK. We Are Black Journos has gained widespread recognition since launching in 2018, and she looks forward to growing it further with the help of the ever growing network and supporters.
