About LaKeshia
LaKeshia T.
Williams.
Writer. Storyteller. Interdisciplinary creative.
Originally from Shreveport, Louisiana, and based in Austin, Texas, I am a writer and interdisciplinary creative whose work moves between literature, fashion, cultural storytelling, and community engagement.
I'm interested in the stories we inherit, the identities we construct, and the possibilities we imagine beyond what we've known.

Always becoming.
Never just one thing.
I've never believed that our interests, experiences, or imaginations need to fit neatly into one category. Writing gives me a place to ask questions. Fashion offers another language for expression. Community invites those ideas into conversation.
Through With Love Keesh, I bring these interests together. Each is its own way of observing, creating, and making meaning.
At the center of it all is curiosity: about people, possibility, and the many versions of ourselves we've yet to meet.
“There is no single way to tell a story. And certainly no single way to live one.”
Some stories ask
to be written.
My writing explores identity, inheritance, imagination, and the complicated beauty of the human existence. In poetry, I make space for intimacy and reflection. In speculative fiction, I explore what becomes possible when familiar realities are reimagined, specifically through the Black American lens.
My poetry collection, Lavender Heart Tea, is part of that ongoing conversation. I'm also developing a speculative fiction trilogy that draws on my interest in storytelling beyond the boundaries of the everyday.

Creativity is also
about connection.
My practice extends beyond the written pages and into the spaces where people gather to experience art, exchange ideas, and find connection.
Through creative events, literary participation, and curatorial work, including my involvement with Future Front Texas, I am interested in making room for voices, perspectives, and expressions that might otherwise go unheard.
For me, community isn't separate from the work. It's where it accelerates.
A life in creative expression.
I don't see creativity as a fixed identity. It can live in a poem, an outfit, a conversation, a gathering, or a new idea and I intend to keep exploring all of it.

The story is still
being written.
Thank you so much for being here. Whether you've come for the words, the style, or the conversations in-between, I hope something you find here encourages you to explore a little more of yourself, too.
