About Abi Daré
Abi Daré’s debut novel, The Girl with the Louding Voice, won the Bath Novel Award and became a New York Times bestseller, subsequently translated into over 24 languages. The novel was shortlisted for the Desmond Elliott Prize, the British Book Awards Debut of the Year, the Goodreads Choice Awards (Fiction), and Not the Booker Prize. A global cultural phenomenon, it was selected for Read with Jenna (The Today Show) and BBC Radio 4 Book at Bedtime, praised by Malala Yousafzai and Dolly Parton, and is currently taught in schools and universities globally.
Her second novel, And So I Roar, won the inaugural Climate Fiction Prize — a landmark international award recognising fiction that meaningfully engages with the climate crisis. In recognition of her influence at the intersection of culture and climate, Abi was named to The Independent’s Climate 100 Power List, appearing alongside leading global climate activists, policymakers and cultural figures including Prince William, Greta Thunberg, and Sadiq Khan.
A highly sought-after speaker, Abi has delivered keynotes at Harvard Business School, Harvard Kennedy School, the UK House of Lords, the Financial Times, Accenture, London Business School, and international schools and conferences across Europe and beyond. Her talks leverage the power of storytelling to explore education, climate justice, women’s rights, leadership, and the power of voice.
She is a dedicated advocate for the next generation, regularly visiting schools to speak with young people about confidence, creativity, and agency. She is the Chief Louding Officer of The Louding Voice Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to
supporting the education and empowerment of girls in underserved communities in Nigeria.
Abi is also the co-founder of WellTold, a strategy and storytelling consultancy helping organisations discover, build and embed their most powerful narratives.
In 2024, Abi received an Honorary Doctorate of Letters from Glasgow Caledonian University in recognition of her contributions to literature and advocacy. She has been featured in several publications including The New York Times, The Guardian, Oprah Magazine, ELLE, and People Magazine.
