O'Nell Agossa

O’Nell Agossa (he/him) is a pan-African, third-culture author whose heritage spans from francophone West Africa (Benin Republic) to Canada, with many other stops. For him, home is wherever he finds pieces of his heart—from the streets of Cotonou to Quebec City, Montreal, Dakar, Johannesburg, and beyond.

Carrying a passion for literature and storytelling, O’Nell combines artistic passion with spiritual curiosity. His debut novel, Curiosity and I: Let Curiosity Guide You, had been quietly brewing within until his own curiosity nudged him to put pen to paper.

O’Nell is also a TEDx Speaker who champions the role of diasporic people as connectors and bridges in today’s world. He is a McGill graduate (Bachelor of Commerce), a management consultant, and has been awarded Canada’s Outstanding CEO of the Year Future Funds Award (2018) and the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec’s Youth Bronze Medal (2014).
