Jamal Michel

My writing experience covers multiple genres, which includes politics, digital media, and video game culture. Before NYU, I attended NC State’s MFA program and have had my creative work published in The Missouri Review, the Minnesota Review, Apogee Journal, and Linden Avenue Journal, to name a few. With the help of AJO’s incredible faculty and my fellow peers, my culture writing has been featured in The New York Times, Mother Jones, NPR and others. The program helped me channel my personal roots into my work, much of which explores race, family, and play. At present, I’m the assistant director of communications at the John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute at Duke University.
