More about me
Imani Mixon was born and raised at the magnetic center of the world’s cultural compass — Detroit, Michigan. She is a long-form storyteller who is inspired by everyday griots who bear witness to their surroundings and report it back out. Equal parts urgent and essential, her multimedia work centers the experiences of Black women and independent artists. Her work has been published at Billboard, Complex, Curbed Detroit, Dazed, Detour Detroit, Detroit Electronic Quarterly, Detroit Free Press, Detroit Metro Times, Hour Detroit, Huffington Post, Live in America, Michigan Radio, Model D, The Guardian, Three Fold Press, and Vogue. Imani currently hosts Subject Matters, a podcast about artists, the worlds they live in, and the worlds they wish to create in collaboration with Kresge Arts in Detroit and Red Bull Arts.
