Yellow Means Stay is a collection of enthralling, sad, humorous, and heart-touching love stories from across Africa and the black diaspora. It features new and award-winning writers from across the African continent and beyond. The stories are a dynamic blend of the poetic and narrative, the spousal and familial, the suggestive and explicit, the dramatic and measured, the straight and queer, the sad and humorous, the past and future, life and afterlife. Through its pages, readers enter the world of African literature, love, and romance. 





"This anthology is effervescent! From tales of tender, forbidden love to those that elicit gasps from their reader, these stories of connection, intimacy and lust are a delicious read." - Megan Ross, Author of Milk Fever



"The stories in this anthology are inventive, complex and funny. They leave one with the feeling of having encountered gifted storytellers." - Gloria Mwaniga, 2020 Miles Morland Scholar.
