Naomi Day is a writer, editor, and teaching artist raised in the hills of western Massachusetts. She works primarily with Black speculative fiction to examine queerness, belonging, and her own generational distance from the concept of home. She received both her passion for teaching artistry and an MFA in Creative Writing from The New School, and is excited to bring her NYC-based teaching experience to her students in Seattle. Her work in the classroom is rooted in her belief that art making is world making. She uses everything from her extensive dance background to her love of film photography to cultivate joyful learning environments in support of this effort.
