Ann Arthur-Andrew is a New York City mother, wife, physician, travel/leisure blogger and emerging writer.

In elementary school, Ann was a contributing writer to the book, “How to Grow a Child: A Child’s Advice to Parents”, edited by Bernard Percy.

Ann holds a BA in Political Science from Brown University and an MD from the Yale University School of Medicine.

Ann has attended workshops at Southampton Writers Conference, Gotham Writers Workshop, NYC Writer’s Coalition Black Writers Program and Sackett Street Writers Workshop.

Raised in Brooklyn by Grenadian parents, Ann’s writing focuses on family, legacy, belonging, voice and black womanhood.

Ann’s current non-fiction project, a memoir, explores issues of otherness and what it means to be American –– for immigrant blacks and their progeny.

Her memoir explores a childhood that was marked by the trauma of domestic violence, emotional and physical abuse, misogyny, racism, and biculturalism. Framed within the troubled and exciting landscape of 1970s New York City, it is both a coming of age treatise and a celebration of black girl nerdiness.

Most recently, Ann was accepted as a participant in  the 2018 Voices of Our Nations Arts Foundation (VONA/Voices) Summer Writing Workshop.

When not practicing medicine or attending a PTA meeting, Ann can be found reading, practicing piano, cuddling with her dog, Patch, or enjoying Netflix and chill time with her husband and children.
