Jessica Ke’mani (pronounced Keh-Mani) is an Oakland-born poet. Ke’mani is the author of the new poetry chapbook, Power of Our Wombs, released by Nomadic Press Publishing in February of 2023. They are studying Creative Writing at Northeastern University at Mills College in Oakland. Kemani has found purpose and challenge in writing and peer tutoring and hopes to pursue more work in this area. Kemani enjoyed working as a student employee with Mills College Administration where they got the opportunity to develop the college’s various wellness-related web pages such as Student Disability and Accommodation Services and Health and Wellness, as well as other duties in these departments’ outreach. As Kemani’s career continues to take flight, they hope for the opportunity to try many avenues to satiate many personal desires of growth and healing but also to be a part of local and global ‘for the people by the people’s initiatives.
