Khadijah Iman

Khadijah Iman (Native American/Black) grew up in Boston, Massachusetts with an undeniable love for all things film, TV, and music related. When she was just shy of seven years old, she snuck into her mother’s VHS collection and entered the minds of the world’s most notorious fictional killers: Chucky, Jason, and Freddy. This was the moment she became a horror fanatic. Khadijah turned to writing as a creative and healing outlet after witnessing her grandmother’s sudden death at nine years old. Poetry and many other forms of writing helped her make sense of this traumatic experience and the many other ups and downs that soon followed. She went on to graduate from Full Sail University in 2015 with a B.F.A. in Creative Writing for Entertainment. While at Full Sail, she not only discovered her love for screenwriting, but got a taste of what it was like to work in the industry. She was a script supervisor for multiple segments of WWE NXT, created short horror content for SeraphFilms’ YouTube channel, and frequently assisted Full Sail’s short film casting department. Khadijah’s scripts often center around diverse and/or LGBTQ+ characters on a road to self discovery while simultaneously dealing with a loss, sickness, or mental illness. Her scripts have placed in the Screencraft Pilot Launch Competition, Final Draft’s Big Break Contest, and the BlueCat Screenplay Competition.
