Hadiatou Wann is an award-winning author. The adult and children's book author holds a Written Storytelling Certificate from the Story Center at Mid-Continent Public Library. Her love of writing began as a teenager. Ever since, the Guinean-native has relied on writing as a tool to voice her views.

She is the recipient of the BookFest Fall 2022 Award, winner of The 2021 SGWA Leadership Award, which is given to an individual who exemplifies excellence and whose leadership has had positive impact in not only the West African community but the greater community as well in higher education, civic engagement and philanthropy.
