Zahira Kelly-Cabrera aka @Bad_Dominicana is an AfroDominicana mami, writer, DJ, singer/songwriter, visual artist, (some may say ‘social media personality’), mujerista, award-winning sociocultural critic, and international speaker. Known for advocating for LatiNegra visibility and rights on social media, and unfiltered social critique, broken down in accessible language. Born in NYC and raised between Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic and the Bronx, by her mother who is a creative renaissance woman.  

Her self-produced interview-style documentary “Valerie y Macu” debuted at Twitter’s “AfroLatinx Film Nite” at their NYC Headquarters in February of 2019. Set in Cali, Colombia, it focuses on two young AfroColombians: Valerie, a trans woman, and Macu, a queer nonbinary self-described Marica. They express their eloquent narratives on the struggles of navigating the world as Black, queer and trans in Colombia, as well as their activism.  

In her DJ’ing she focuses on fusing Latin urban genres, hip hop and alternative rock. As a singer/songwriter she is working on a bilingual Latin Urban EP and released her well-received 1st single “U Could Be” in March of 2020.  

She co-hosted the Afrolatino Festival 2017 Concert and is a TEDx Women-Mexico City speaker. She has done speaking events, keynotes, workshops, panels and lectures at Stanford, Columbia University, U Penn, Brown University, USC, NYU, Emory, Sarah Lawrence College, National Dominican Student Conference, Pitchwise Festival- Sarajevo, The New School, The smART Leaders Teen Summit- NYC, The MLA conference, Naked Heart Festival- Toronto, Afrolatino Festival- NYC, Tecnologico de Monterrey- Mexico, among others.  

She writes what many call a very candid advice column at TheNewInquiry.com and is creator and author of Bad-Dominicana, an AfroLatina feminist blog and twitter with a large, constantly growing following comprised of everyone from editors of major publications and scholars to teenage girls.  

The internationally trending hashtags #MaybeHeDoesntHitYou and its spanish language version #QuizaNoTePegue on how gendered non-physical abuse manifests in daily life were also authored by her. They lent a voice to tens of thousands of women sharing their stories and experiences with abuse across twitter, facebook and instagram. This led to her TEDx talk in Mexico on the subject, as well.  

She has been featured in a number of publications such as The New York Times, Latina, Complex, The Fader, Vibe, Cosmopolitan, Time, BBC, and many more for her sociocultural analysis and art. In her writing, dynamic use of social media, and at speaking events she employs Indigenous style storytelling, no holds barred analysis of abuse culture, colonialism, social power dynamics and critique of media and pop culture. She aims to pick apart white supremacist capitalist hetero-patriarchy from an anticolonial AfroLatina perspective.  

With gratitude, she has accepted an Advocacy and Leadership award at Afrolatino Festival 2017, an #AfrolatinasWhoRock award for being an Afrolatina revolutionizing the world around her from aintilatina.com in October 2015, and an ‘¡Ahora! award’ for commitment to organizing and demonstrating the necessity for ethnic studies as a praxis for a better future en la comunidad, from Northwestern University’s Alianza and Latina and Latino Studies Program in May 2016.

She has published on literature, film, and material culture in a variety of peer-reviewed humanities journals.  Dr. Schalk’s first book Bodyminds Reimagined: (Dis)ability, Race, and Gender in Black Women’s Speculative Fiction (Duke University Press 2018) argues that Black women writers of speculative fiction reimagine the possibilities and limits of bodyminds, changing the way we read and interpret categories like (dis)ability, race, gender and sexuality within the context of these non-realist texts. She has begun a second book project on disability politics in contemporary Black art and activism, including the Black Panthers and the National Black Women’s Health Project.  Dr. Schalk also writes for mainstream outlets, serves as a board member for Freedom Inc., and once twerked with Lizzo.
