Kenyatta Muzzanni Robles (she/they) is a writer, organizer, and filmmaker who lives at the intersection of arts and social movements. This duality comes naturally to Kenyatta having grown up in the Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY.

Their writing has appeared in Aislin Magazine, the Hartford Courant, Harvesting Chaos: Seed Packets for Liberated Practice, the 2024 WriteAngles Online Journal, and elsewhere. In 2024, Kenyatta performed in a one-person show during The Grass is Greener exhibition & art gallery in Holyoke, MA. They are a 2024 Witches & Warriors Retreat Fellow, and a 2024 Markham-Nathan Social Justice Fellow

In 2025, Kenyatta wrote, directed, and produced their first short film, BE HERE NOW. Based on some of Kenyatta’s life experiences, the film centers on an unemployed writer and activist with a fear of clowns is greeted by a clown version of herself in her bedroom The film is a journey into the mind that grapples with existence, resistance, and what it means to be human.

Kenyatta also has over 10 years of experience in the criminal justice reform field, and over 15 years of experience in social movements. They are the Founder & Director of Action Arc Labs, a social social change organization that combines community organizing and storytelling to build power, shift paradigms, and disrupt the status quo. An avid rugby player in undergrad and graduate school, Kenyatta made it off the pitch and across the stage to get a Bachelors of Science in Psychology from Juniata College, and a Masters of Social Work with a Policy Practice focus from the University of Connecticut.

In the end, Kenyatta’s purpose in life is to build power with oppressed people to ensure our collective freedom. They are a builder and a destroyer.
