Ijeoma Oluo (/iˈmə ˈl/; born 1980) is an American writer. She is the author of So You Want to Talk About Race[8] and has written for The Guardian, Jezebel, The Stranger, Medium, and The Establishment, where she was also an editor-at-large.[9]

Born in Denton, Texas, and based in Seattle, Washington, in 2015, Oluo was named one of the most influential people in Seattle,[10] and in 2018, she was named one of the 50 most influential women in Seattle.[11] Her writing covers racism, misogynoir, intersectionality, online harassment, the Black Lives Matter movement, economics, parenting, feminism, and social justice.[8][12]

She gained prominence for articles critiquing race and the invisibility of women's voices, like her April 2017 interview with Rachel Dolezal, published in The Stranger.[13][14][15][16]
