Imani Nikelle is an award-winning filmmaker, writer, and creative director from Dallas, Texas, who is currently based on the East Coast.

She considers herself a poet, both on the page & behind the camera. Her visual work revolves around themes of intimacy, interiority, and the many landscapes of the self. In every project written for the screen, she is committed to putting people of color in starring roles.

Her poetry often explores Black womanhood in relation to Southern landscapes, collective memory, and mythology.
