Andrea R Canaan (born 1950) is a Black feminist writer, speaker, community organizer, poet and activist.

Early life and education

Canaan was born in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1950. She was raised in a close activist and spiritual community.[1] At twelve years old, Canaan was raped by a Methodist minister where she also faced abuse from a female church camp counselor.[2] Canaan has also intimated that her mother was aware of this abuse and did nothing to help her child.[2] Canaan has referenced this abuse in her work by touching upon themes of religious abuses of power and clergy misconduct.[2]

Canaan holds a M.S.W. from University of Tulane and a M.F.A. in non-fiction from the University of San Francisco.[1]

In 2018, she received a second M.F.A. in fiction from Goddard College in Vermont.[3]

In the 1980s, Canaan served as the Director of Women and Employment which helps place women in non-traditional jobs.

Work

Canaan's creative passion is personal wholeness, the transformation of shame into courage for herself and in the lives of other black women.[2]

Her work explores themes of black womanhood, sexual abuse, identity labels, and friendships between black women.[4][5][6]
