Okafor, Kofi is a Ghanaian-Nigerian writer and former exploration geologist. Born in 1986 in Kumasi to an Igbo father and Ashanti mother, he studied geology at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology and later earned an MA in creative writing from the University of Cape Town. He spent a decade surveying mineral belts across West Africa, work that sharpened his fascination with stone, memory, and myth. His short fiction has appeared in Omenana, Brittle Paper, and several regional anthologies, and he has facilitated speculative fiction workshops in Accra and Lagos. He lives in Accra with his partner and an elderly rescue dog, and when not writing he volunteers with a literacy nonprofit and restores broken radios.
