Victoria Princewill

Novelist, Author of ‘The Palace of Flowers’

Victoria Princewill is a cultural transformation consultant, specialising in underserved communities and individuals. With an academic background spanning both STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and the arts, she combines neuroscience research in psychiatric epidemiology with an exploration of how narratives shape empathy, power dynamics and professional cultures.

Victoria’s goal is to use this understanding to create art that drives positive personal and societal change. Notably, she has contributed insightful pieces on race and contemporary culture to renowned broadcasters and publications such as the BBC, the Guardian, the Independent, the London Review of Books, and n+1 magazine. In her debut novel, ‘The Palace of Flowers,’ Princewill strives to reintroduce the stories of often overlooked African women to the world.
