Tara Alexx Jay
(She/Her)
With a background in teaching Drama and English, Tara has always had a deep connection with words and storytelling. Her work focuses on unstitching her connection to womanhood, motherhood and her queer identity. Music and imagery plays an important role in her work. Tara began writing songs as a teen, eventually pivoting into writing short stories. She started performing her poetry in 2018 at open mic events and is currently writing a play about a queer woman’s journey to loving herself. Tara’s literary influences are bell hooks, Audre Lorde and Andrea Gibson.
