Founders

  • Jeannetta Craigwell-Graham is a writer who lives in Copenhagen/Ebeltoft. Communities of Black womxn have nourished and empowered her from birth to adulthood. She hopes that BWWE does the same for the next generation of Black womxn artists. She is one half of the BWWE whole and provides opportunities for comic relief and good trouble every chance she can.

  • Joy is a writer based in Toulouse, France. She created the Emerging Writers Community Podcast, where she interviews early career BIPOC creative writers in a roundtable discussion with the audience, and founded the Europe chapter of Women Who Submit, with members from nine European countries, to empower women and non-binary writers to submit work for publication.

    As one half of BWWE, Joy combines her reverence for the artistic ancestors who blazed trails in Europe with her passion for creative communities centering Black womxn.
