Titana Muthui is an actor and writer who writes with urgency, clarity, and conviction. A Black woman and recovering alcoholic, she creates work that is inseparable from her lived experience. Storytelling has always been her way of surviving the world, but sobriety sharpened her understanding of just how much representation matters—not only for visibility, but for survival itself.

In theatre and film, addiction is too often portrayed through white, reductive lenses. The messy, complex realities of Black women navigating recovery are almost entirely absent. Titana’s work confronts this silence head-on.

She writes about the quiet and loud devastation that alcohol can mask in plain sight. Just as urgently, she writes about the transformation that sobriety makes possible: resilience, intimacy, and the radical act of living without disguise.

Through her practice, Titana seeks to create connection where there has been isolation, to spark dialogue where there has been silence, and to give voice to those who have too long gone unheard.
