Natasha Driscoll

April 10, 2024

High Yellow (Fiction), Allendale, NJ

In High Yellow, Tamera, a biracial girl navigates her life; learning how race, colorism and popularity shapes the way the world sees her.

“The aim of this novel is to challenge the tragic tale of the struggle of being two races. My hope is to illuminate the complexity and reclamation of self even when we are unsure.”

Natasha Driscoll is a biracial writer with a passion for youth literacy/writing volunteerism and is a mentor for Girls Write Now. She recently earned her MFA from Bennington College Writing Seminars where she was published in their End of the World Journal. Natasha has also been recognized with a Fellowship from MVICW Poets and Writers.
