Bee Cordera is a published poet, nonfiction writer, and emerging journalist. They mostly write on the intersection between climate change, environmental justice, and culture, but lately Bee has taken more of a general assignment approach to journalism. Bee currently writes for The Black Wall Street Times. Their work can be found on NPR, Grist, The New Territory, Atmos, Next City, and Nexus Media News. She received her MFA from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. When she is not reporting, or writing poetry, Bee teaches poetry, watches anime, and roller skates in her free time.
