Hi.
I’m Kiana.
I write stories for messy women and introverted Black girls.

My work.

  • Night Off (Peacock)

    Written by me and directed by Tika Sumpter, “Night Off” is a short film about new parents who smoke weed on their first date night, leading to mommy guilt and trippy surprises.

  • MIXED (YouTube)

    I co-created and wrote this comedy web series about a conservative 20-something (Vanessa Simmons) and her liberal parents trying to make it in Hollywood.

  • Latest Writing

    Read my latest essay in Los Angeles Times, “Hiking after a miscarriage, grief walks with me.”
