Life
Braithwaite was born in Lagos, Nigeria, in 1988. She spent most of her childhood in the UK after her family moved to Southgate, London. She had her primary-school education in London then returned to Lagos when her brother was born in 2001. She studied law and creative writing at the University of Surrey and Kingston University, before moving back to Lagos in 2012.
She has worked as an assistant editor in publishing house Kachifo Limited and as a production manager at Ajapa World, an education and entertainment company.
Career
Braithwaite's debut book, My Sister, the Serial Killer, was published by Doubleday Books in 2018 to wide acclaim. Her short stories have appeared in McSweeney's, WePresent, and Amazon Original Stories' Hush Collection.
Braithwaite is also an illustrator, and illustrated the cover of the Nigerian edition of her novel, which was published by Narrative Landscape Publishers.
Her 2025 novel, Cursed Daughters, had a "very different foundation than the thriller My Sister, the Serial Killer, which Braithwaite admits she was eager to get 'as far away from' as she could, according to an interview with Elle.
