Jade Adia (she/her)
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Jade Adia writes stories about Black nerds, home, and the chaos that is capitalism.
She holds a bachelor’s degree in Ethnicity, Race & Migration, and a certificate in Human Rights from Yale University. She recently survived law school, graduating with a specialization in Critical Race Studies from UCLA. Her debut novel, There Goes The Neighborhood, won the 2024 Coretta Scott King - John Steptoe Award for New Talent. Her second novel, Our Shouts Echo, is forthcoming Summer 2024.
BTW, my last name is pronounced “uh DEE uh,” with stress on the middle syllable 🤠
Or, if this is easier: “Jade Adia” rhymes with “Mamma Mia” (but I have not seen the movies — sorry, Meryl).
let’s connect.
