History
''Isele Magazine'' was founded in July 2020 by Nigerian novelist Ukamaka Olisakwe. In an interview with ''Open Country Mag'', she explained that the magazine is a tribute to late grandmother, alias 'Isele Nwanyi', who was a dancer and a performance poet. The magazine published its first issue in July 2020 and made a call for submissions, inviting "writers and artists who hold a mirror to our society, who challenge conventional expectations about ways of being, how to be, and who decides who should be." In October 2021, the magazine published a call for ''The Woman Issue'', seeking submissions that "subvert the tropes and narratives associated with and definitive of womanhood."References
