Nadege Green

The Center for Black Visual Culture at the Institute of African American Affairs is pleased to welcome our Fall 2022 Distinguished Writer/Community Activist-in-Residence, Nadege Green. Green is a researcher, writer and community historian based in Miami. Her work focuses on the lived experiences of Black people in South Florida.

Green’s practice and approach to storytelling is deeply rooted in history and first-person narratives that explore and connect issues around race, culture, climate justice and displacement. She is a Senior Civic Media Fellow with the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School of Innovation and she was the inaugural Community Scholar in residence at the University of Miami’s Center for Global Back Studies in 2021.

Her reporting has appeared in The Atlantic, the Miami Herald, WNYC and NPR. Green is also the founder of Black Miami-Dade, a multimedia storytelling and history platform that resists the erasure of Miami-Dade’s Black past.

Green is the editor of the anthology “More Than What Happened: An Aftermath of Gun Violence in Miami,” which will be published by Jai-Alai Books in November 2022. She is currently working on a history exhibit that will honor and spotlight Miami’s Black LGBTQ+ community. The exhibit will be presented in Spring of 2023.
