JOSELIA REBEKAH HUGHES is a disabled Afro-Caribbean poet, writer and allo-practice-artist.

She’s performed and lectured at bookstores and art centers around New York City including The Strand, Bronx Art Space, Participant Inc, National Sawdust, Brooklyn Public Library, MoMA and the Poetry Project. Some of her writing has appeared in Apogee Journal, Leste Magazine, Ocean State Review and Jewish Currents.
