\n<\/strong>Editorial Intern<\/h4>\n

Hi everyone,\u00a0I am a queer Southern Black feminist passionate about\u00a0trans formative\u00a0literature, literacy,and love. I acquired my zeal for \u00a0feminism and activism at Spelman College, where I earned a B.A. in \u00a0English and minored in Spanish and Comparative Women’s Studies.<\/p>\n

Outside of activism, I am an emerging literary scholar embarking on my first-year of\u00a0graduate school at American University. My academic interests include themes of\u00a0trauma, survival, and recovery in literature written by women of color, and the\u00a0socioeconomic and communal issues prompting migration, “flight,” and displacement.<\/p>\n

[pullquote3 align=”center” quotes=”true”\u00a0cite=”Toni Cade Bambara”]Writing is one of the ways I participate in transformation.[\/pullquote3]<\/p>\n

As a budding scholar-activist-writer, I am excited about the opportunity to amplify media\u00a0for queer people of color because for far too long hegemonic ideology worked to silence\u00a0their visionary genius. I believe it is essential to document and celebrate these narratives\u00a0in order to create a (safe) space for radical brainstorming within our respective\u00a0communities.<\/p>\n

Through my work this summer with QWOC Media Wire, I hope to illuminate the brilliance\u00a0of queer creators of color encouraging conversations to begin and organizing to erupt. When I’m not walking in the spirit of the late Toni Cade Bambara, I enjoy practicing yoga, intense Scrabble matches, Modern dance, and travelling.<\/p>\n
