Rie Shontel is a playwright, multi-medium artist, poet and award-winning radio journalist. An East Oakland native, she grew up in an area called “Funk Town” where late night storytelling often took place under streetlights, affording her an opportunity to live vicariously through her neighbors. Under her full name, Anita Shontel Woodley, she has won a Harry Chapin Media Award and an Emmy under CNN for exceptional coverage of the events of 9/11. She has also written and produced a play called, “A Great Dream Now a Nightmare,” about African-American inner-city youth who ignore Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other Civil Rights leaders’ sacrifices.
