Precious Chika Musa is a first-generation Nigerian american Black girl. She graduated from Smith College with her B.A. in English and Africana Studies with a Poetry Concentration and earned her MFA in Writing from Washington University in St. Louis. Precious’ writing engages the inner life of the body, fugitivity, and belonging. Her poems appear in Tupelo Quarterly, West Trestle Review, Black Perspectives, and elsewhere. As a way to begin answering questions around Black grief and joy formed during undergrad, Precious developed, curated, and launched Listen, Look: A Reconciliatory Journey Through Black Grief and Joy: a multi-media installation featuring Black St. Louis artists. The installation brought her closer to her love for visual storytelling, and she’s been immersed in the visual world ever since. She currently serves as Program Coordinator for the Africana Center at Tufts University.
