LATASHA MERCER

Latasha’s popular Dissection series grabbed acknowledgements from the likes of Numa Perrier, Lena Waithe, Katori Hall and more, following her notoriety as a staple panelist on The Grapevine TV. Latasha has also been featured on Entertainment Tonight Canada, AFROPUNK, Dark & Lovely, Teen Vogue, and more.

Latasha partnered with Damn Write Originals in 2021, and has since earned writing credits on Revolt TV and Keke Palmer's KeyTV Network. She was OTV's 2022 Writing Fellow and is currently on the 2023 OTV Jury for the next season’s cohorts, and has placed on Coverfly's The Red List. She is the newest writer welcomed in Mara Brock Akil's The Writer's Colony, and currently has a script development deal with Netflix via the platform's Created By Initiative.

Latasha writes racy, emotionally charged dramas and comedies chronicling the protagonist’s journey toward their true identity. She is currently unrepped, and is looking forward to being staffed in a writer’s room, or developing original series.
