Imani Threlkeld

Imani Threlkeld writes opinion for Upper South Journal. They started their career writing alt-weekly columns and have placed pieces in a handful of Southern and national outlets since. They hold a doctorate they rarely mention and teach one class a year at a small college outside Nashville they would rather not name. They live in Nashville and are the rare local who will admit, on the record, that the city has gotten worse in some specific ways.
