Shishonia half Italian and half Dine (Navajo). Her family is from Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico. These days she is on tour performing on stage: standup, sketch & improv. When she is not performing she is writing. She has a creative writing degree from Antioch University. Her book, An Artist Lexicon: A Peculiar View of the World, debuted in 2011. Unfortunately there is nothing she can really do for the southwestern food she misses, as it’s not quite the same in the big cities. Currently, she is living and working in Los Angeles as a writer and performer.
