Chelsea Penafort is an advocate for self-expression through movement, language and art. After beginning her career in law, she made a bold pivot toward creativity and storytelling. She now teaches yoga in Kuala Lumpur, runs a micro-art gallery called Bad Bxtch, and tutors children in reading comprehension and creative writing.

“Little Momo, the Brave” is her debut children’s book - a cheeky and charming tale inspired by Malaysia’s jungles that celebrates the courage it takes to honour your dreams.
