Meadow Braun is a black, Puerto Rican, Jamaican, Russian Jew from upstate New York. She grew up as an only child and a born again Christian with her Jewish mother, an artist, and her adoptive father, a poet. She was a cheerleader, delivered newspapers and played the guitar. She has a few identity issues.

After successfully navigating high school without visible damage, Meadow attended NYU where she studied Art History, Psychology and Africana Studies, going on to become a divorced graphic designer. She always knew she would write a book, but she didn’t know that she was a writer until she quit her job and forgot to get another one.

Meadow writes in order to love. She writes in order to heal. She writes to keep moving. She moves through her words and attempts to emerge with something useful. Something that she can give to you. If you don’t want it, well, the truth is you’ll probably be just fine. But she won’t. So, please, just take it.

Meadow has participated in writing classes and workshops in New York and Hawaii and published a short essay in the New York Press. She practices writing as therapy, but goes to psychoanalysis as a backup. She is currently working on a full length memoir.
