Kisumu

Brian Ochieng' Oyollah is a Kenyan writer working across journalism, creative non-fiction, and screen narrative. Based in Kisumu, he brings to his writing the dual fluency of someone who has spent years working inside institutions—in procurement, supply chain, and operations—and has spent equal time observing the human behaviour those institutions produce. His journalism engages with digital culture, consent, accountability, and the stories that trend before the facts are established—a space he navigates with care, rigour, and a consistent commitment to getting it right. His creative non-fiction is intimate and self-aware, drawing on personal history with the honesty of someone who has decided that authenticity is more interesting than impression management. His work Tales of Jaduong' Ochieng' Ogello has been featured on Brittle paper. His screenwriting work, anchored by his original series concept The Job, demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of power, institutional dynamics, and the long-game psychology of characters operating at the intersection of ambition and survival. "I write the way I think—at the intersection of what actually happened and what it means."
