Shadiyat Ajao is a poet based in Harlem. Her work interrogates the mundane, ruminating on natural patterns and the intimacy of cultivation and nourishment. She holds an MFA from The New School and serves as an assistant editor for Conjuctions.
In true millennial fashion, she dreams of a life beyond the confines of capitalism, preferably on farmland with friends and great food. She also visits bakeries with a frequency that some would refer to as "alarming."
