Originally from the south suburbs of Chicago, Kellee Terrell has spent the last seven years analyzing how the intersections of race, class, gender, and sexuality have shaped not only her life, but also the lives of all women and men in the United States. Pop culture is her favorite lens to talk about these issues, but for money, she is willing to write about anything.

She received a  M.A. in African American Studies from Columbia University in New York City and a B.A. in African American Studies and minor degrees in Women’s Studies and Political Science from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

The Brooklyn-based journalist, editor and blogger’s work has appeared in Essence, 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.” She also given lectures around the  New York City area and recently gave a talk at MIT’s Women’s Action and Media Conference on why AIDS is a women’s issue and how to cover it in the media. Terrell is also working on a screenplay–she had been stuck on page one for the past four years.

  19. Yonkers represent here, a few blocks outside the Bronx. Found you randomly. Dig your style. Obama ain’t the Messiah though, he talks about bombing everything to shit basically same way McCain does, if not more (Pakistan). Neither candidate is an agent of change but rather a symptom of the same ol’ bitch. Still, I like your style. Whether I agree doesn’t matter. Agreement never matters. Harmony matters.
