Naomi Day

Naomi Day is an author, editor, and teaching artist. She works primarily with speculative fiction to examine the politics of the Black body, constructs of social monstrosity, and generational trauma as inheritance. Her short fiction has been published in FIYAH Magazine and Uncanny Magazine, among others, and her editorial and classroom work is rooted in her belief that art making is world making. In her various other lives, she’s a film photographer, an engineer, and an aspiring gardener.
