Alexandria Russell

(VIBE CONTRIBUTOR, she/her) Alexandria “Meena” Russell is a mother, author, playwright, and co-founder of Alstroemeria Studios. As a single mother, one of her many passions is speaking out for the stigmas that follow black and brown single mothers. When Meena’s not binge watching Blue’s Clues and You with her daughter, she’s either finding inspiration for her next piece, enjoying music from her favorite k-pop artists, or gaming. She’s currently working on her first book of poetry ‘Second Place, Half Best’.
