Tamara Mendoza Art, Fiction, Poetry

I am an English teacher and avid writer and reader of poetry. I also write speculative fiction that explores the future in urban settings. I recently started a publishing company called Resident Black Publication (RBP), whose aim is to create, incubate, and publish undiscovered speculative fiction writers. I am currently working with an organization in Watts, CA, to revive a beloved writing program that will partner with RBP to host a speculative fiction writing workshop for local youth. I am in the process of writing a poetry and prose book that highlights the greatness and blessings of the communities in which I was raised.

It is my first time contributing to StoryLine. After attending Coastline’s Online Campus for three semesters, I have transferred to George Washington University in D.C. for Journalism & Mass Communications with a minor in Economics. I am originally from Boise, Idaho and love listening to music, reading, and watching a wide-array of films. Writing about culture and society is a passion of mine. I am a Non- Fiction Editor and fully designed this issue. I also authored StoryLine’s first journalistic piece (page ten)!
