Ese Makolomi
I am a Toronto-based writer, educator, and literary arts organizer. As a young community leader, I create warm, accessible spaces where writers, readers, and emerging creatives can gather, reflect, and feel less alone in their creative journeys. Through my Writing Socials, I bring together literature, wellness, storytelling, and community care, with a focus on BIPOC, queer, immigrant, and women’s voices. My work is rooted in connection, self-return, and the belief that creative spaces can help people heal, build confidence, and imagine new futures. I hope to keep growing projects that make art, literacy, and wellness feel more welcoming, reflective, and accessible.

Through themed Writing Socials, the project brings together literature, guided writing, storytelling, wellness practices, and author engagement to support connection, self-return, and creative confidence. Rooted in care and accessibility, Becoming especially welcomes BIPOC, queer, immigrant, women, and emerging voices seeking meaningful literary community.
