Deborah J. Hunter is a Tulsa, Oklahoma poet, spoken word artist, playwright, essayist, actor, teaching artist, workshop facilitator and social justice activist. A descendant of 1921 Greenwood Massacre survivors, she was honored to receive a 2020 Greenwood Art Project (Bloomberg) grant for her original play, Porches, set during the years following that Tulsa tragedy and staged during the 2021 Centennial remembrance. She was presented with a Woman of the Year Pinnacle Award in 2018 and was a 2013 Oklahoma Poet Laureate finalist.
Her poetry has been published in literary journals, magazines, anthologies and other printed media. She is mostly known for her soul-filled spoken word performances. She has had a long career teaching children, youth and adults fun techniques to find inspiration and sharpen skills for writing poetry. A staunch and longtime advocate and educator on issues pertaining to mental health and homelessness, Hunter’s chapter, “Violence and the Homeless Population: Perpetrators or Victims?” appears in the academic series, Violence and Abuse in Society: Understanding a Global Crisis.
