Keenan Teddy Smith
I am a writer and researcher from Flint, Michigan who currently resides in Pilsen, Chicago. With a degree in Comparative Ethnic Studies, focusing on Literatures of the Black Atlantic, & a certificate of completion from Thinkful’s UX/UI Design program, I am adept at storytelling with both text & visuals. My narratives seek to engage & amplify the voices of Black communities & other racial and sexual minorities.
I balance my day job with personal creative work, namely poetry and prose. I have had the honor of being published by the likes of The Michigan Quarterly Review, Hyperallergic, and T: the New York Times Style Magazine.
Too often, yesterday is forgotten in the name of an emblazoned tomorrow. I don’t pretend to know everything about writing or design, but in my experience the most beautiful work is aware of its past to inform its future.
