Choiselle Joseph — Founding Editor

Choiselle Joseph is a writer and artist from Barbados. Her recent poetry has appeared or is forthcoming in PREE, petrichor, Rust & Moth, Gone Lawn and elsewhere, and she was a 2023 NIFCA Visual Arts medalist. Her current project is Hummingbird, an in-progress chapbook exploring daughterhood through myth and surreal imagery. Frustrated by the pigeonholing of black women in the literary mainstream, they founded The Saartjie Journal as a home for the most inventive work by black women writers and artists. They believe strongly that black women deserve the creative freedom to make art in all forms that is transgressive, bewildering, and, simply put, weird. Find them on Instagram @_choiselle_.
