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.
