Tomicka Glenn was born and bred in the city of Detroit. She chose to complete her undergraduate education at Wayne State University and earned her bachelor's degree in design and merchandising. She is currently pursuing a master’s degree in community development at the University of Detroit Mercy. Along with her studies, she’s committed to a year-long internship with the Institute for AfroUrbanism performing research around identifying and replicating thriving, Black communities through the lens of agency, audacity, and abundance. Tomicka has an extensive background in graphic design, communications, social media management, digital strategizing, community organizing, electoral campaigning, and canvassing. She's a modest social justice writer whose essays have been published through Change Wire, Huffington Post (now HuffPost), and Rewire News. She was a Digital Consultant for the Black Freedom Collective in partnership with Community Change. Tomicka has volunteered her services for notable representatives of the people such as Detroit City Clerk Candidate Denzel McCampbell, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, and State Senator Stephanie Chang. Her interests include documentaries, West African spirituality, queer rights, Afrofuturism, voter engagement, conscious parenting, manifestation, mental health awareness, gaming, and millennialist TikToks. Tomicka resides in the suburbs of southeast Michigan with her two children but will always rep her city roots. Most days you can find her meditating, healing, and harnessing her Black woman magic. A cup of dark roast coffee with cream and a lot of sugar is never too far away.
