Yolanda Marazzo Lopes da Silva, Portuguese poet and writer, was born in São Vicente, Cape Verde, Africa, on December 16, 1927. At the age of 15, 1943, she left for Lisbon, where she completed her studies at the Liceu Rainha Dona Leonor. She graduated with a degree in French and a degree in Modern French Literature from the Alliance Française and with an English course at the British Institute. In 1958, she left for Angola accompanying her husband and remained there during the turbulent period of the colonial war, from 58 to 68. After that time she moved to Luanda where she teaches in private education, working at the same time at the Embassy of Yugoslavia.

José Lopes' granddaughter, one of the greatest and most cultured poets in Cape Verde, soon revealed her poetry, having been part of the Grupo do Suplemento Cultural, together with Gabriel Mariano, Aguinaldo Fonseca, Ovídio Martins, Carlos Alberto Monteiro Leite and Francisco Lopes da Silva.

She collaborated in Lisbon in the Artes e Letras of Diário de Notícias, in the Republic and in Angolan periodicals, such as Província de Angola, Jornal de Lobito and Notícias.
