Brittney Frantece is a writer, artist, educator, curator, and PhD candidate in the English Department at the University of Washington (UW).

She explores Black literary and visual arts to examine the new ways of thinking, being, and knowledge productions Black imaginations offer. She teaches for UW's Expository Writing Program and has conducted workshops for The Northwest School and Henry Arts Gallery.

Her writing has appeared in Variable West, Outlier Chapbook, MFON Exhibition Catalog, Black Embodiments Studio Journals, and various art writing collections.
