Nisha Atalie is a poet, editor, educator, and creature in a constant state of becoming and unbecoming. Some of her inspirations include Lake Michigan, her pup Moti, the moon, and friends and comrades—human and otherwise. Her biggest inspiration is the ongoing, centuries-long struggle to decolonize the world and uproot racial capitalism. Nisha is based in Chicago, on occupied Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi land.
