Originally from the south suburbs of Chicago, Kellee Terrell has spent the last five years analyzing how the intersections of race, class, gender, and sexuality have shaped not only her life, but also the lives of all women in the United States. Pop culture is her favorite lens to use to examine identity politics.
She received a B.A. in African American Studies and minor degrees in Women’s Studies and Political Science from the University of Michigan, and an M.A. in African American Studies from Columbia University. Her graduate thesis, “We Gotta Find Peace of Mind: Black Women Writers’ Quest for Identity”, examined the ways in which the political atmosphere of the 1970’s ushered in a new wave of novelists using innovative techniques to narrate black women’s lives.
The Brooklyn-based journalist’s work has appeared in Real Health: The Guide To Black Wellness , POZ , The Advocate and XXL: Hip Hop Soul. Her most recent articles on pop culture are “Hipper Hop,” “HIV: Behind The Music,” “Cheat Sheet” and “Black Is Back.”

Thanks for writing such an inciteful, humorous, and entertaining blog. I came across your site from Rod 2.0 and now it will be one of my regular reads.
Oh, and I totally agree with you about My So Called Life. That was some bullshit! I’m still pissed…
