DC Dyke March

                  Mayah Lovell is a Black lesbian latinx from suburban-area D.C. Her artistry roots in Caribbean transcendence beside Black queer ancestors and awakens by practice in fantasy, neo-erotica, and ritualism. She is a first-generation descendant of Caribbean servitude–her matriarchal lineage is birthed in “Canal Zone,” originally Rainbow City, Panamá by way of Barbados; and her patriarchal lineage is birthed in Kingston, Jamaica. It is in Caribbean knowledge where she learned the wisdom of redemption, abolition, and survival in spirituality.

 

 Through curating, exhibiting art and performing prose and sound art through D.C., NY, LA, Connecticut, Philly, Baltimore, and online, she has fostered, taught, and held community for artists and creatives.  Some of her writing lives in Peach Fuzz Mag, Coven Poetry, Stone of Madness Press,  and Hermetic State, where she created Black lesbian anthology, dykes day, a holigay.
