AJ Addae

AJ Addae (she/her) is a 21-year-old Texas-based visual writer and scientist. She loves science jokes, vegetables, anything cowgirl, and creating the things she wants to see in the world. AJ got into writing when she was 7 and wrote a poem about the water cycle that her 3rd grade teacher eventually hung up in the classroom. Since then, she has grown a strong affinity for words, complex things (like science), design, and creating a bridge between all of those things. AJ’s work mainly centers her experience as a dark-skinned black woman, and her Ghanaian-American identity. Her knack for design gives her the ability to create visuals to accompany her writing and deliver an experience.
