Kondwani Fidel has used the power of storytelling to confront education reform and civil rights all over the world. Fidel has captivated audiences at conferences, literary events, and has lectured and taught classes at the University of East London while touring in the United Kingdom. He has produced creative and inspiring narratives for brands such as Under Armour, Visit Baltimore, and The Baltimore Orioles.
He was recently featured on The Tamron Hall Show where he discussed his work and life story. Baltimore Magazine honored Fidel with the “Best of Baltimore” in 2021 for his poetic skills. Fidel is the author of The Antiracist, Hummingbirds in The Trenches, and Raw Wounds. He received his BA in English from Virginia State University, and his MFA in Creative Writing and Publishing Arts from the University of Baltimore—and is currently an Assistant Professor of English at Coppin State University.
