Momo Mullings (they/she) is a Liberian-Jamaican Georgia-raised, Baltimore-based writer, artist, organizer, performer, and archivist devoted to the strange and eternally haunting the marshlands of the South. They were one of two poets chosen to represent the University of Maryland, Baltimore County in the 2019 Baltimore Book Festival’s University Writers' Series. Their work has been published in giallolit, High Shelf Press, Burning Jade Magazine, and more. They were a 2024 member of the Our Art Room collective through which their installation, Doll Matter, was on view at The Peale Community Museum. They were one of two playwrights selected for Sisters Freehold’s Horticulture 2023-2024 Playwright Program. From this program, they wrote their first full-length script titled Eat Lolo Eat, the story of a fat black woman getting her revenge. They create a newsletter on Substack called Be Soft, Write Feral. In addition to creating zines on topics that range from obsessive crushing, culture criticism, and Black punk history, they are the founder of Black Zine Archive (@blackzinearchive on IG), a public archive of zine, independently published, and small press work by black people.
