About the Book: “The sky has been many shades of blue, but not mine.” Nann Tsehay’s first collection, Girl Blue is a poetic narrative about Black American girlhood. Centering key moments of her teenage years, Tsehay writes a personal account of the social pressures and issues Black girls face. This account of memories, observations, and affirmations shines light on misogynoir, depression, motherhood, abuse, and grief. Tsehay uses that same light to shine on the joys of childhood and the hope of healing. Written for Black girls who are expected to know better before they know themselves, Girl Blue jogs the memory should we ever forget who we are.
About the Author: Nann Tsehay is a director, writer, singer, and poet who moves with intention and vulnerability. Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois – south side, west side respectfully – Nann comes from a working-class family where her home was filled with music and the liberty to explore her creativity.
Nann’s work is influenced by her life in Chicago, Black American culture and the life/love experience. She is also influenced by the music, literary, and visual works of artists Janelle Monae, Betty Davis, Toni Morrison, and Kara Walker to name a few.
Nann moved to Oakland, California in 2015 where she continued her personal and artistic development. From 2019 to 2021, she was accepted into the Creating Queer Community artist residency program at the Queer Cultural Center based in San Francisco. Under the guidance and support of her mentors, Nann produced live performances of original music and directed her first short film, “Outside”. All works debuted at the annual National Queer Arts Festival.
Nann is currently a film major at Los Angeles Community College. Nann continues to pave her own path in the world of storytelling with the vigor of imagination and her own voice.
