Jay Aja

Filed under: Authors

Jay Aja (they/he) identifies as nonbinary, transgender queer, and second-generation-immigrant Guyanese. A student of Comics, Jay is fascinated by the confluence point of text and image, how the two in tandem might lead to more nuanced storytelling, and how these mediums together allow Jay to continue exploring the diasporic identities of West Indians within and outside the States. Jay's work has been supported by the Tin House Summer Writers Workshop and the National Women's Book Association. He has published work in Foglifter and The Rumpus, and will soon have a short comic appear in an anthology for the Authentic Voices 2023–2024 cohort of womxn writers.
