TASHA SPILLETT BIOGRAPHY
Tasha Spillett, PhD (she/her/hers), emerges as a luminary at the intersection of Indigenous advocacy, education, literature, and scholarship. Drawing strength from her dual heritage as an Afro-Indigenous woman with both Cree and Trinidadian ancestry, Tasha’s journey is marked by a profound commitment to amplifying marginalized voices and nurturing spaces of belonging and empowerment.
As a New York Times bestselling author, Tasha’s literary works stand as testaments to her dedication to storytelling as a tool for liberation. Her multi-award-winning graphic novel series, “Surviving the City,” published by HighWater Press, delves into the complexities of Indigenous experiences, shedding light on issues often overlooked. Likewise, her picture books, “I Sang You Down from the Stars,” a New York Times bestseller published by Little Brown Books and Owl Kids, and her latest creation, “Beautiful You, Beautiful Me,” published by Owl Kids, celebrate the beauty and diversity inherent in humanity.
Beyond her literary achievements, Tasha’s impact extends into the realm of education. As an educator, she infuses her teaching pedagogy with her profound cultural knowledge, creating spaces that honor Indigenous ways of knowing and being. Recognizing her unique position as an Afro-Indigenous woman, Tasha is deeply committed to fostering equitable relationships among all communities. She actively works to create culturally responsive learning environments that prioritize the well-being and success of Indigenous students, students of color, and their families.
Tasha’s scholarly pursuits are deeply intertwined with her relational responsibilities. Through her research, she contributes to a body of knowledge that echoes the demands for justice for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people. Her work serves as both a resistance against the ongoing impacts of colonialism and a celebration of the resilience and brilliance inherited from her ancestors.
Central to Tasha’s ethos is her dedication to community-led initiatives that center the liberation of Indigenous women and women of color. She envisions a world where joy and well-being are affirmed for all, especially children, and actively collaborates with communities engaged in creating such a future. Her advocacy extends beyond the academic and literary realms, as she works alongside grassroots movements to effect tangible change.
As her career continues to evolve, Tasha remains steadfast in her commitment to uplifting marginalized voices and fostering spaces of empowerment and liberation. Her journey is characterized by a deep reverence for culture, a relentless pursuit of justice, and an unwavering belief in the transformative power of storytelling and education. In Tasha Spillett, we find not only a trailblazer in Indigenous scholarship and literature but also a guiding force for a more inclusive and equitable world.
