CJ Spears

​Chasejamison Akilah Manar-Spears is an imaginative writer who was born and raised in the Bay Area. Their words bloom at the intersection of poetry, afro-surrealism, and science fiction. As a Yoga teacher and revolutionary thinker, they are nourished by bodies of knowledge that express intrinsic truths through cultural frameworks. She is informed by afro-futurism, day dreams, and the silent growth of trees. Through creative non-fiction, CJ crafts imaginative and ancestrally informed stories — where ecology and spirit blend together to shape new worlds.
