ABOUT

Khalifaziz was born in New Orleans, and would likely have spent their whole life there collecting Yu-gi-oh cards and enjoying life had it not been for Katrina, which destroyed both their childhood home and their beloved card collection. By day, Khalifaziz studies Anthropology as a Ph.D. student at Tulane University. By afternoon, Khalifaziz writes sci-fi, horror, fantasy, and fanfic. By night, they’re usually watching too much anime and eating too much ramen. Inspired by the Afrofuturist movement, Khalifaziz writes every story from a Black perspective, drawing upon the lived experience, history, politics, and cultural beliefs of the Black community. In the wild, a Khalifaziz is most commonly encountered in the darkest corner of a library, whispering words in a forgotten language to the oldest, dustiest books on the shelves. If you encounter a Khalifaziz in the wild, do not let it meet your gaze. Walk backwards until it is out of sight, throw salt over your shoulder, and spin counter-clockwise three times.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
