Kevwe Okumakube, Editorial Assistant, Summit Books

Kevwe joined Summit Books in February 2024. Her publishing aspirations are influenced by her family of talented storytellers and an admiration of writing as a craft. She’ll read anything with rich voice, great command of language, and a whole lot of mess.

Kevwe is especially drawn to books by, for, and about people who live in the margins—particularly Queer people of color. In addition to books, Kevwe enjoys archival work, fashion, and torturing herself by watching awful reality tv shows. She assists Judy Clain.
