Bolu Babalola is a British-Nigerian with a Bachelor's degree in Law, and a Masters degree in American Politics & History from UCL. She feels it is important to state that her thesis was on Beyoncé's "Lemonade" and she was awarded a distinction for it, so essentially she has a Masters degree in Beyoncé.
A writer of books, scripts, culture pieces and retorts, a lover of love and self-coined "romcomoisseur", Bolu Babalola writes stories of dynamic women with distinct voices who love and are loved audaciously. She is a big believer in women being both "beauty and the beast".
Her short story collection, Love In Colour, was published in 2020, became a Times bestseller and was shortlisted for Waterstones Book of the Year.
Her debut novel, Honey and Spice won the first ever Tik Tok Book Awards in 2022, and Sweet Heat was released to critical acclaim in 2025.
