Bl3ssing Oshun Ra (she/they), is nonbinary and disabled, transfeminine poet, musician, educator. A lifelong creative, Bl3ssing is deeply inspired by their mother's love for science and storytelling. Her craft merges commentary on environmental racism and human health with themes drawn from African spiritual or speculative traditions, an aesthetic which she terms "Blue-fi," (sci-fi steeped in the Blues).
