Hello! I’m Charnell, and I’m a communication scholar and writer. As a doctoral student at the University of Utah, I study Blackness, identity, and (bio)technologies in interpersonal communication contexts.

Aside from my scholarly work, I enjoy engaging in the arts. I am the former editor of Ruminate Magazine‘s online publication, The Waking, and I’ve read for Split Lip Magazine and The Common. In my free time, I enjoy writing poetry and learning to paint.

Feel free to subscribe to my substack, Sincerely, Charnell for occassional essays and reflections.
