Pages MatamPAGES matam (They/He), is a genderqueer med-school dropout turned award-winning multi-hyphenate who was late to their own birth (aka almost didn't survive) after a near 11-months pregnancy. Now, they strive to create timely and timeless stories centeing Black & Queer characters who defy the odds. Fluent in five languages, they are a published poet and spokenword artist, burlesque performer, high-concept drama TV writer, pleasure advocate and agent of imagination born and raised in Cameroon, Central Africa who then blossomed in Washington D.C. (Piscataway Land). PAGES loves anime, mario kart and fried plantains as much as developing character-driven projects centering Black and queer folx exploring their complicated relationship with parents and grief that teaches us it's never too late for self-discovery. Their writing, merging West-African folklore and magical realism with hood mythology, is fueled by their cultural and immigrant experiences as well as Toni Morrison's words: "the function of freedom is to free someone else."
