Sabrina Efionayi was just 11 days old when her Nigerian mother knocked on a neighbour's door in southern Italy and asked the Neapolitan woman staying there, a stranger, to help bring up her baby. The two women ended up raising her together, with Sabrina constantly moving between two very different houses, cultures and worlds. It was beautiful but also troubling, and she never quite felt at home in either culture. Feeling confused about her identity, she started writing stories online as an escape, until one day, she got a a call. She tells Outlook's Dany Mitzman her story.

In 2005, when London schoolgirl Jade LB was just 13, she got a computer for her birthday and began writing a fictional story on it – the sometimes raunchy, sometimes disturbing adventures of a 17-year-old girl called Keisha. Written in a mixture of text language, slang and patois, the story became legendary and was passed around schools all over London. But when she first put it online with a promise to post a new chapter every two weeks, Jade had no idea of the impact it would have, or how Keisha would shape her life for years to come. This interview was first broadcast in 2021.
