About Me
Fred Geiger
Fred E. Geiger is a writer, educator, creative artist, cultural preservationist, and activist headquartered in Harlem, New York City, USA. His work has spanned the worlds of theater, academia, literature, and the African Diaspora. He holds a B.A. of Arts in English from Columbia University. He has worked with The Frank Silvera Writer’s Workshop, The Freedom Theater, Brooklyn college, and the Brooklyn Public Library as a writer, director and workshop leader.
“The Song of Ugga-Lee” is a labor of love and was written after his mother dared him to write it. He is also the author of “Sis Tut: The Lady Griot From Harlem”, “A Trip to Soulville: Funky Tales and Verse”, The Harlem University English Grammar Companion”, and “Why We Voted Kamala”.
Fred considers himself a word warrior in an age of anti-truth. He feels his mission as a writer is to enlighten, educate, and entertain because words are the echoes of the soul. “Words have importance. Words have consequences. True, honest words have the power of ten thousand hydrogen bombs if executed well.”
