In Vosa vakaViti Rarama means light and in Shona it means to live or to be alive.
Established in 2024, Rarama Ink is an Indigenous-led hybrid publisher - blending editorial, design, and distribution support with full creative, cultural, and IP control for Authors.
We are interested in stories that reflect our interests and the communities we come from, however we want to - books, posters or card decks. We look forward to learning about more stories, locally and regionally, connecting and collaborating.
