A doctoral candidate in Performance Studies at Northwestern University, Miller’s academic research engages contemporary black feminist performance, ritual aesthetics, and the black maternal. Their creative & intellectual life is inspired by the legacies of Ma Rainey, Ntozake Shange, the surrealists, Zora Neale Hurston and June Jordan. Miller is a cultural worker, birth justice advocate, and big sister (rebellious daughter and auntie extraordinaire).
