Hi.

I'm Shana and I write. I write about blackness, black women, black labor, black sexuality, black radical politics, and black culture. I write about myself as the daughter of black folks who think, write, and resist.

Performance

I have crafted a career and an identity around bearing witness and honoring the stories of others…real or fictional…here and gone. This is my first time telling my own story. It was vulnerable. And scary. But also liberating. It made me feel powerful. I have never had this much control over my own narrative.

Watch my storytelling debut here.
