Carrie McClain

Writer. Editor. Media Scholar.

Carrie McClain is a Southern Californian native who navigates the world as writer, editor and media scholar who firmly believes that we can and we should critique the media we consume. Everything under the sun from film to comics to video games to professional wrestling strikes her fancy. She has served as a panelist speaking on such topics such as cultural appropriation, media texts we consume and sisterhood in fandom.She analyzes the creative work that includes art, literature, and cinema by people from marginalized genders, sexualities, and backgrounds. Especially those by and for women of color, with a special emphasis on those works centering Black women.Carrie once aided Cindi Mayweather in avoiding capture. Fairy tales and folklore have colored her imagination her whole life with Virginia Hamilton being one of the earliest griots whose work she devoured. This creative dreams of school book fairs, a world without prisons & solar punk futures. Unbeknownst to her, her Wakandan visa was just delivered and is sitting in her mailbox on top of a few new volumes of Josei manga that she can't wait to read.She/Her/Hers[email protected]
