About

Yarn Press is a literary and visual studio shaped by the Black diaspora. The studio creates and curates work that amplifies voices, sparks reflection, and honors the power of story.

Its work spans writing, workshops, and thoughtfully crafted objects; fine art prints, journals, and greeting cards — all designed to support imagination, intentional living, and cultural memory.

Yarn Press collaborates with artists, cultural organizations, educators, and institutions to develop:

Narrative storytelling workshops

  • Narrative Storytelling workshops
  • Interview-based essays and artist profiles
  • Reflective writing series and documentation projects

Whether engaging a public audience, a classroom, or an intimate creative community, Yarn Press is committed to work that slows us down, invites deeper thinking, and treats storytelling as a cultural practice not content.

Meet the Founder

Ekene is a writer, painter, and cultural strategist, and the founder of Yarn Press.

Her work centers interior life, curiosity, and narrative as forms of power. Through Yarn Press, she develops writing, workshops, and visual projects that help individuals and organizations articulate what they know, what they feel, and what they are becoming.

Ekene works with artists, educators, and cultural institutions to design narrative practices that support self-documentation, reflection, and cultural memory. Her approach blends literary thinking, interview practice, and visual sensibility — producing work that is thoughtful, intimate, and rigorous.

Yarn Press is both her studio and her lens: a place to document this moment in history and to offer tools for reflection and imagination in a world that often demands speed over meaning.
