Mandy Wagnac

Mandy Wagnac smiles in front of a brightly colored mural, with one hand on her waist and the other resting on the top of her head.

Mandy is a Haitian poet who hails from Long Island, New York. She‘s currently a Junior at Columbia University studying English and African American studies. She‘s interested in the way Black women have been able to put language to experiences so many of us haven’t had the words for but still understood. More than anything else, she loves to dance with her friends in places they shouldn’t be.
