Originally from the Midwest, Janine Blue’s prose and hybrid work intertwine feminism, queer culture, and critical race theory. Likewise, her work highlights matters such as police brutality and mental health. As a queer Black female, her intersectional identity is embedded into her writing regardless of the medium or subject matter. Janine is currently pursuing a PhD in creative writing at Illinois State University and hopes to one day teach creative writing while publishing creative works.
