Shannon Gibney

Shannon Gibney has been a Nerd since she could talk, and a Nerd of Color since she’s been Black. She enjoys imbibing and analyzing sci-fi, fantasy, and speculative film and writing, and is excited and emboldened by The Age of the Nerd, in which we live. Shannon teaches writing and African diasporic topics at Minneapolis Community & Technical College, and her award-winning Young Adult novel, See No Color, was released in 2015 (Carolrhoda Lab). Her critical and creative work regularly appear in a variety of venues.
