Rashida Williams, pen name Really Rashida, is a Cleveland, Ohio bred writer and multimedia personality. She inherited her love of books and music from her mother and began reading at the age of three.
Her career started in 2005 when she became an intern for the Ohio Hip Hop Awards. During her five years with the organization, Rashida was able to get a taste of what the music industry was about from behind the scenes. During that time writing never left her and she eventually found her way back to it when she started writing for the event’s blog in 2009. In January of 2013 Rashida dropped her first book, Toxic, an urban murder mystery. The following year, she signed with Jaded Publications and released the novel as A Love Hate Thing. She released Club Nirvana 3 and No Sister Of Mine in 2014 and all three titles are Amazon Bestsellers.
Currently Rashida hosts her own podcast, writes a lifestyle blog dedicated to today's urban woman, and has an online community for women writers of color called The Powder Room.
Today, she is still living in Cleveland and is hard at work on her next novel.
