Luann is a queer and disabled writer and cultural worker whose work lives at the intersection of storytelling, community building, and decolonial dreaming. With a deep commitment to language as a tool for liberation and connection, she creates work that centers inner divinity, curiosity, and ancestral remembrance.

As the founder of Brown Girl Decolonized Production Company, she offers a home for reflection and creative inquiry – a digital sanctuary to process, imagine, and reclaim. Her writing explores themes of sacred stillness, identity, and healing in a world shaped by systems of oppression.

In 2018, she released the pilot for the workplace comedy Gabby Antonio Smashes the Imperialist, White Supremacist, Capitalist Patriarchy! – or Gabby Smashes for short – which Willamette Week praised as “one of the most realistic representations of Portland yet.” Season one is now available to stream at gabbysmashes.com.

As a strategist, Luann brings her intuitive and intentional approach, helping mission-driven organizations craft messaging that are values-aligned, heart-forward, and rooted in justice. She bridges her creative and professional practices with care and conviction.

Luann is a 2017 recipient of the Golden Spot Award Residency (Caldera Arts), a 2023 recipient of the Oregon Film and Oregon Made Creative Foundation “Tell Your Story” Grant, and has received funding support from the Regional Arts and Culture Council.

In the quiet, she listens. In the listening, she writes and builds worlds.
