About Christina Engela


Welcome to "Sour Grapes: The Fruit Of Ignorance", Christina Engela's original activist (human rights, eco and animal rights) related articles from 2009 onward*.

Christina Engela is a writer and digital creator based in Port Elizabeth, on the South East coast of South Africa – a tourist destination known as ‘the Windy City’, where watching birds fly backwards is a thing.

She lives with her wife Kay and four cats who compete for her attention and distract her from writing, but for all the right reasons.

Christina puts her lifetime of diverse accumulated experiences to good use, enriching her creative output as an indie author, publisher and YouTuber.

As a passionate human rights activist, Christina Engela fervently champions the principles of religious freedom, the right to be free from religion, freedom of expression, and the freedom of association. She advocates tirelessly for the dignity of every individual, empowering people to embrace their identities without fear or discrimination.

Beginning her activist journey in 2008, Christina passionately campaigned for LGBTQ+ human rights. By 2011, she broadened her advocacy to encompass marginalized Occult religious groups and the rights of misunderstood subcultures, including Goths, emos, and the vampire subculture. Christina dedicated herself to ensuring these communities could exist without fear of persecution. Collaborating closely with individuals from diverse backgrounds, she worked tirelessly to promote non-discrimination and to educate the public about the unique challenges faced by these groups.

Christina has since embarked on an academic journey, making her mark in the field of New Religious Movements. Over the past decade, she has authored 7 influential papers in Religious Studies that have garnered significant attention. She is now currently working on her PhD.

Her first love however, remains storytelling and writing wonderful tales of fiction.
