Nikki Blak is a writer, sociologist, womanist, and intersectional feminist whose art interrogates social constructs and affirms Blackness. Her thought leadership and radical education work centers marginalized and oppressed populations in the United States.

As a celebration of her work, her likeness has been depicted in public art installations throughout Los Angeles for nearly two decades, with the most recent being a Michael Massenburg mosaic, commissioned for the Metro Expo.

She is the founder of The Interrupt Series, a virtual workshop and lecture program dedicated to producing anti-racism curriculum and providing education and resources to interrupt racism and patriarchy.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Nikki resides on unceded Tongva land with her partner and children, where she works to make her ancestors proud and leave a just, equitable society for her descendants.
