![]() ![]() I’ve written two collections of poetry, one memoir and compiled two poetry anthologies towards this mission. I’m a community artist, a poet and writer who believes that language has the power to change the world. What do you do you do and why and what do you hope others will take away from your work? ![]() ![]() I freelance for the LA Weekly and other publications. I moved to Los Angeles when I was 18, trying to escape my ghosts, and attended Loyola Marymount University and eventually receiving an MFA in Creative Writing from Antioch University. My memoir, Black Indian, begins the saga of these migration stories of Free People of Color communities exploring identity, ethnicity, landscape and loss. I am an award-winning poet and educator born and raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan, a daughter of Mixed Bloods, tri-racial and tri-ethnic African American, American Indian and European-descendant families who migrated from North Carolina and Virginia in the mid-1700 to 1800s to Southwestern Michigan. Shonda, we’d love to hear your story and how you got to where you are today both personally and as an artist. Today we’d like to introduce you to Shonda Buchanan. ![]()
