In this podcast episode, I interview Shah Noor Hussein, based in California. They are a writer, visual artist, educator, scholar, and a badass queer Sudanese person. Their focus are on black feminism, art, writing, and teaching. Their poetry has been featured in the LA Review of Books (2020), Umber (2019), and CUNJUH (2017). Also, some incredible poems were performed at the Museum of the African Diaspora (2020), Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive (2018), and the African American Arts & Culture Complex (2018). They teach and lead writing workshops. They are the managing editor for the journal The Arrow. Their research cultural work aims to (re)center marginalized voices in dialogues on alternative epistemologies and cultural reproduction through a multimedia study of popular culture and women's music called Aghani Al Banat, “Girls Music,” in their home country of Sudan.
