ABOUT YARROW

Yarrow is a creative hub and digital magazine for columns spanning culture, politics, opinions, and more.

“You got to make your own worlds. You got to write yourself in.” — Octavia E. Butler

We take this mandate literally. To rival the legacy of institutions that have failed us, we must offer a world that is more vibrant and more alive than the ones they have built.

At Yarrow, we focus on narrative direction. We are concerned with the life an idea takes once it enters the public landscape - who it serves and what it demands. 

We center voices at the margins because that is where the clearest sight is found.

Zola is a writer, narrative strategist, and founder of Yarrow. She has several years of experience in leading strategic communication campaigns, project management, and mobilizing community members for positive change. Zola works closely with leaders, artists, and organizers to clarify the stories they are trying to tell and how to make them resonate.
