Editor • Head of Storytelling
Myra Dunoyer Vahighene is a gifted storyteller, actress, and author of initiation tales, known for her captivating stage presence and clear, insightful narratives. As a talented YouTuber, she shares her deep passion for tales, symbols, and African languages on her platform Eleza Masolo—a Swahili phrase meaning "Tell me a story."
With a unique blend of creative and entrepreneurial skills, Myra approaches the artist's craft with a pragmatic mindset, seeing it as a business as much as an art form. This perspective has led her to collaborate with major media outlets like Canal+, and her deep understanding of off-stage storytelling techniques has made her a valuable asset to American NGOs looking to establish roots in Africa. Her knowledge of African customs, traditions, and cultures further enhances her contributions to these initiatives.
In January 2025, Myra will join the Editorial Committee of Revue {R}évolution, where she will introduce readers to the rich and nuanced world of African mythologies.
