About Yahsmin
Yahsmin Mayaan binti BoBo is an applied literary artist. Her work began in print journalism with an emphasis on art, culture and society. Most of her published pieces are magnified through the lens of hip hop culture. Yahsmin’s writings have been translated in three languages as editorial, profiles and interviews. In hiatus from journalism, she’s now telling her own story. That anthology is in the works.
