A bicultural, first-generation American, Natasha’s family immigrated from Barbados to New York City where she grew up straddling two worlds. One was a strict, traditional Caribbean household, and the other was Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn during the crack epidemic. The two were so different, they often seemed like surreal fantasies. As a result, Natasha now writes 1hr. dramas and fantasies about characters struggling to
define themselves, about belonging and love.
Currently co-developing a graphic novel for AfterShock Comics, Natasha recently finished a Story Editor position on HULU’s upcoming drama, SAINT X. She also wrote for season four of NETFLIX's VIRGIN RIVER.

Raven Metzner, as well as Liz Benjamin, and Writer/Director, Sofia Alvarez.
