ABOUT ME

Taneka Stotts

Taneka Stotts

Is a queer little tumbleweed that rolled back into the warm embrace of Los Angeles.

After spending many years as a spoken word artist, writer, editor, and comic book publisher, Taneka’s focus shifted to TV animation—yet another medium full of collaboration and imagination.
