Nursed at the literary breast of Toni Morrison. Cradled in the figurative arms of Richard Wright. August Wilson was my play uncle.

This is the online creative home of me, Amanda Miller Littlejohn. I’m a new media journalist and communicator interested in culture, race, work and family.

I’ve been writing since 1995. I may sprinkle in some writings from over the years, as well as new stuff as I get it.

You can tell a lot about someone by what they read, and whose words have touched them. A few of my favorite writers are Richard Wright, August Wilson, Zora Neale Hurston, Toni Morrison, bell hooks.

I love music. Love Fela, Coltrane, Radiohead, anything intense.
