As a besharam (shameless) brown, queer, disabled woman, Neha M. Sampat centers life on multiple margins through her speaking, writing, creating, and acting up. Their poetry, essays, insight, and art are featured in publications and exhibits including The B’K Magazine, HNDL Magazine, Mission Belonging’s Art Saves Lives, t’ART Magazine, wildscape., and forthcoming in Wishbone Words. Neha is a mama, box-breaker, and recovered people-pleaser. You can find her drinking chai, breaking generational trauma cycles, and making community cool again at @nehainprint (IG) and @nehaunerased (Substack) and in-person on Ohlone land in the SF Bay Area.
