Brionna Bennett is an African American writer born and raised in rural Virginia with a love for magic, fairies, and nature. She is the organizer of DC Creative Writing Read & Critique and a DC Writer’s Salon member. When Brionna is not writing, she is a Middle school special educator helping students with similar disabilities she struggled with growing up. She loves all things Disney, superheroes, and music. 

 

While getting her BA in Psychology, Bennett studied Creative Writing in Ireland. The country’s magic helps her to create the #blackgirlmagic stories she wanted as a kid. She started working on her novel Beauty is The Beast after her poem by the same name was stolen by a former roommate. Today she is still inspired by the note left by the former roommate, “I need this more than you do.”
