About me

“I write for Black Women. I care deeply for our wellness and joy, as well as our mental, spiritual, and physical health. We deserve protection, healing, and freedom. We have infinitely earned the right to just be.”

Kandice Head is an author, womanist, poet, and Chicago native with a heart for storytelling and social justice. She works full time in advocacy communications at the Funders’ Collaborative on Youth Organizing and part time as content writer for whatmatters.com.
