First things first, how do I pronounce your name and surname?

Vuyisile is pronounced: voo-yee-sea-le. You can listen to my pronunciation here. The “c” in my surname, Ncube, is a click in isiZulu.

What are your social media handles?

I’m not on social media so the best way to contact me is by using the contact form or you can subscribe below for news and updates on my work—I promise I won’t spam your inbox.

What are you currently working on?

I’m working on a number of short stories and am revising an adult, sci-fi, Africanfuturism manuscript. It’s set in 2074, in a fictional, African city, touted as having had the most carbon neutral construction phases in the world, and it’s inspired by my experience working on environmental, and housing rights.

Your bio says you’re an attorney?

I’m an attorney by training but I no longer work on strategic litigation. My work is focused on advocacy around a just transition that breaks away from the extractivism, which has characterised our societies’ dependence on fossil fuels.
