Tiara Janté is an author of speculative fiction and non-fiction.
Her work explores Black spiritual traditions and futures in ways that challenge convention and reflect lived experience.
She’s the creator of Hoodoofuturism, a genre that amplifies the spiritual and ancestral stories of Black people, threading them through narratives of resilience, transformation, and connection.
Living in metro Atlanta with her children—her daily reminders of legacy and strength—Tiara’s writing is rooted in a deep love for her people and a commitment to telling stories that matter.
Whether inspiring, challenging, or simply leaving a mark, her work invites readers to step into worlds where Black futures are boundless, and magick is never far behind.
AVAILABLE NOW! Explore the captivating universe of Zone Eleven & Other Dope Tales, a multi-genre spec-fic collection that blends the visionary flair of Afrofuturism with the profound spirituality of Hoodoo.
Journey through the vastness of space with a Rootworker on a bold terraforming mission, then immerse yourself in an Earth-entangled tech-suffused reality where sibling sentinels duel with a digital demon, after diving into the horrors surrounding a reclusive seamstress contending with a curse that demands her blood. Featuring seven interconnected tales, all converging on a singular destiny—the clash with Zone Eleven, an ancient, cosmic juggernaut erasing all in its path.
Centering Black femme characters channeling ancestral magic against staggering odds, Janté's debut collection unveils the power of legacy across dimensions and the continuum of time.
