Laura Napier, also known as L.D. Napier, writes in many forms including screenplays, plays, essays, and novels. She has written several children's books dealing with race, identity, and brown princesses, inspired by her daughter. Laura's plays, such as My Wife, read with "Writers Resist," to raise money for the ACLU and produced by Hamilton Gibson productions and In the Shadow of Beale Street, staged as a tribute to James Baldwin, are reflections of an unacceptable status quo.
In 2008, Napier wrote, directed, and co-produced an off-Broadway play at La MaMa in New York City called "The G Word: For Those Born Later" as a fundraiser for schools and a women's center in Darfur. Laura has taught filmmaking at Universities, including Temple, Loyola, and CUNY, playwriting to inner-city students, and film at the Solebury School. Laura taught writing as an artist in residence at Soledad maximum-security prison in California to learn from inside.
Laura has received many awards including a Mid-Atlantic Regional Media Arts Fellowship, a Telly award and the International Health & Medical Media Award for her documentaries.
Laura's goal is to continue to echo the times with a loud voice in which George Bernard Shaw, Langston Hughes, Ann Petry, and James Baldwin would be proud.
