Ariana Brown
Ariana Brown is a queer Black Mexican American poet from San Antonio, TX with a B.A. in African Diaspora Studies & Mexican American Studies. Dubbed a “part time curandera” Ariana is the recipient of two Academy of American Poets Prizes and is a 2014 National Collegiate Poetry Slam champion. When she is not onstage she is probably eating an avocado, listening to Ozuna, or validating Black girl rage in all its miraculous forms.
