I am graduate of Creative Writing (Poetic Practice), with a keen interest in researching and storytelling within Caribbean context. My writing is either intimate or broadly political. I often explore themes of environment, language and colonialism. So far, I have been published by the grace of PREE, Decorating Dissidence, Cave Hill Journal, National Poetry Library, Palette Poetry, Sweet Thang Magazine, among others.
I am presently the Co-Founder of Juju Media Ltd - a creative agency offering exceptional communication services to brands and entities within the Orange Economy.
As an artist, my ultimate vision is to create - through any medium - to best communicate my ideas of the world.
Projects
- Better in The Bahamas: A Response to "On Skin and Sand"In 2017, I responded to the work of Edrin Symonette and Leasho Johnson with a poetic performance.

Deconstructing the homebuilding process of, “quicklime and slacking”, Symonette constructs his own questions surrounding Bahamian identity and the affects of slavery. In speaking with Symonette, it was clea
- Between The TimesThe purpose of this photographic project was for the launch of my website: taniciapratt.com. My vision was to create imagery that re-imagined 20th century Bahamian culture in modern times. Inspired by my 90's dancehall culture upbringing, and my grandmother's farming & straw vending background, my attire visually expresses my heritage and my poetic practice.
