About Mariama Jobe

My name is Mariama Jobe, I am the author of three books, including The Black Girl’s Handbook, and a speaker, project manager, and social entrepreneur based in Sweden, with roots in The Gambia. Under my five years of freelancing, I have visited Sweden's royal theatres and institutions to showcase my artwork, as well as schools, seminars, organizations, film festivals, and book fairs. I’ve also had the privilege to get my work published for the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. In 2021, I intend to broaden my horizons and finally go both international and intentional, starting off with this article for Highly Sensitive Refuge since it is closest to heart for me as an HSP. Besides reading WEBTOON and watching Kdrama shows, reading HSR puts me at ease. You can read more about me here and find me on Instagram.
