Announcing this year’s four incredible Lilla Jewel Award winners!

Zoë Gamell Brown

Zoë Gamell Brown is a Guyanese American integrative artist and researcher based in Eugene, Oregon on Kalapuya Ilihi. Gamell Brown is a doctoral student in the University of Oregon Indigenous, Race, and Ethnic Studies department, the founder of Fernland Studios, and a strategic storytelling consultant.

Her doctoral research explores settler colonialism, critical environmental justice, and identity in the Guyanese diaspora. The themes in Gamell Brown’s in my work revolve around intersectional feminist ecologies, transformative collective care, queerness, sexuality, religious autonomy, identity expression, survivance, and critical environmental justice.

When I’m not writing or reading, you can find me hiking around the Pacific Northwest, taking pictures of sea anemones.
