Meff & Jenny chat with Head Sorceress Shawn in our inaugural dialogue on race & SPOP. It's gonna get wicked nerdy.

Head Sorceress Shawn is a playwright, author, and a huge nerd. She is the creator and facilitator of the Queer Women's Torah Workshop. Her debut collection of story-poems, The Red Door, was a semi-finalist for the Cave Canem Poetry Prize, and will soon be published by Ben Yehuda Press. 

Her non-fiction writing about living at the intersection of Black and Jewish has been featured in Tablet Magazine and the Tribe-Herald. She is currently developing Project Tzimtzum, inspired by theater and role-playing games. Project Tzimtzum aims to create spaces for playing, dreaming, learning, and making within the Jewish world and beyond.
