Description

Prince Shakur is a queer, Jamaican-American author, journalist, and videomaker, and recognized by NY Times. As an organizer, he brought Black Lives Matter to his university campus, supported the migrant caravan, and served as a lead organizer with the Black Queer and Intersectional Collective in Columbus, OH. Prince also co-wrote, produced, and acted in an upcoming short film about two childhood friends facing their past before a significant event. His work, whether literary, visual, or grassroots, is stepped in his commitment to black liberation, prison abolition, and queer resilience. His debut memoir, "When They Tell You To Be Good," charts his political coming of age, and has been hailed as a “ scorching, nonlinear journey through a Black man’s search for self” by Kirkus Reviews.
