Donna Kirstein was born in 1985. Raised in Zimbabwe, she has led a fairly nomadic life, growing up in various towns and farms during which she developed a passion for reading. She has always harbored a secret desire to write and she has recently been fortunate enough to study towards a joint degree in Fine Art, English and Creative Writing at the University of Chichester in the UK. She intends to continue traveling and to return home to Zimbabwe one day soon. Donna’s story is published in Writing Free (2011).
