i'm erika e. wade,

I listen to trap and burn incense when I write.
A native of Birmingham, Alabama, I officially began my writing career in 2006. Before I graduated high school, I had become the reining champ of a city wide spoken word contest, was a contributing writer for the metropolitan newspaper, and figured out the hustle of writing.
My works have been everywhere from Blavity and national marketing campaigns, to the historic 13th Street Reparatory Theater in New York. I currently live in LA.
