HANNAH OLABOSIBE SHOKOYA EKO is a Nigerian-American eldest daughter who never became a lawyer, doctor, or engineer. Like a true rebel, she attended five years of military school and graduated from the US Merchant Marine Academy, during which she completed a thesis on Black ethnomusicology (“I Too Sing America”). After serving as a US Coast Guard officer, she embarked on her longtime (read repressed) writer dreams. She graduated with an MFA in Creative Fiction from the University of Pittsburgh.

Her fiction and nonfiction have been published in Buzzfeed, Bust, b*tch, Pigeon Pages NYC, the Dear Black Girl anthology, Fractured Lit, and Aster(ix) magazines. She is a 2021 California Arts Council Emerging Fellow, a 2019 recipient of the Advancing Black Arts Grant, a Peter R. Taylor Kenyon Fellow, Tin House Scholar, and VONA (Voices Of Our Nations) alum. She has taught writing workshops at Catapult, Smith College, Bloomsburg University, Pomona College, Girls Write Now, Ripped Bodice, Accent Society, and at White Whale, an independent bookstore based in Pittsburgh.

She is founder of the creative community and event series The Lit Club, co-founder of the Los Angeles based reading series Palindrome alongside Tanya Shirazi-Galvez, and leads the The Emerging Authors Mentorship for writers who want to start and finish their books with peace, power, and pleasure.
