Saaret E. Yoseph is a writer and artist from Washington, D.C. whose work blends poetry, documentary, and narrative storytelling. She connects personal questions to intersectional themes, exploring art and culture across the African diaspora and centering Black women in particular.

Her visual docupoem, JOURNEY(S): ADDIS TO DC, combines oral history, poetry, animation, and archival imagery to honor the migration experiences of Ethiopian women in America. Now touring, the project received Best Experimental Film at the KITFO Film Festival. Saaret released her debut poetry chapbook, A BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO ENDINGS, in 2025. She is currently developing other narrative experiments, including the scripted drama-turned-novella series ABYSSINIA & HARLEM.
