Ekemini Ekpo

tl;dr: Ekemini Ekpo is a writer and researcher (often), theatre-maker (sometimes), and southerner (always). She loves using asterisks to censor words that are not actually pr*f*ne, and invariably yearns for the last place she left.

Writing

tl;dr: Ekemini is a product of the “tumblr fandom discourser” to “chronically online twitter x pontificator” to “journalist and critic” pipeline. She has bylines in New York Review of Architecture, Urban Omnibus, TheBody, Howlround Theatre Commons, and other publications. 

If she wrote it, it’s probably about theatre and/or race and/or gender and/or urban life.
