Hi. I’m Ashawnta. I’m a reader, writer, editor, and record collector living in Brooklyn. You may have seen my work at places like JSTOR Daily, Atlas Obscura, Vinyl Me Please, Artsy, Bandcamp, and NPR Music. I interviewed members and helped produce a video on the influential photography group Kamoinge for their retrospective at the Whitney Museum. I also do publicity for independent publisher Catalyst Press. Previous lives have found me on the radio at KMHD Jazz Radio in Portland, OR, writing educational content for the online education platform Nearpod, and editing an academic journal about data visualization.

I like books, and music, and movies from the 70s. I would love to talk about any of those things, with just about anybody, at just about any time. And, you know, of course, write about them. You can see some examples of my work below and even more here. You can see samples of my marketing and copy writing work here. Get in touch at ashawntajackson[@]gmail.com. I’m represented by John Rudolph at Dystel, Goderich & Bourret.
