James, Scarlet Ibis: - SCARLET IBIS JAMES brings worlds to life where African spirits commune with their diasporic descendants, weaving Caribbean legacy with modern truths. Born in Trinidad and now based in New York City, she crafts stories that bridge islands and boroughs, generations and cultures. When not writing, James can be found dining with her family all over New York City, hunting for the perfect roti in Queens, collecting stories on subway rides, or tending to her beloved Aglaonema Wishes plant, Rosie, in her Harlem apartment.
