Mekishana Pierre

Young Adult and Hear My Story editor Mekishana is all about storytelling that digs deeply into the ever-evolving nuances of people and culture alike. A former entertainment journalist who spent a decade covering film and TV, she has a soft spot for celebrity memoirs, character-driven fiction, and coming-of-age stories that capture the trials and tribulations of the oft embarrassing journey that is figuring yourself out. When not writing or listening, Mekishana can be found attempting to train her (too clever) pup, watching lengthy video essays on YouTube, and tapping back into her video gamer era.
