Pasha Westbrook (she/her/hers)


Pasha Westbrook, a multiracial writer and a Chickasaw and Choctaw Freedmen descendant, is the author of "Braided Roots." Westbrook lives among the Arizona cacti with her husband and three beautiful boys. When she's not voraciously reading, you'll find her penning poetry, nourishing her plant babies, concocting herbal remedies and reveling in nature as often as possible.
