A cum laude graduate of Princeton University, UC Berkeley, Stanford Law School, and UCLA Extension, Shani Am. Moore began her career as a writer on "Sweet Magnolias," a #1 hit drama series on Netflix, as well as on Hulu's "The Bold Type."
Prior to becoming a full time working screenwriter, she was the first black female head executive in Dolby's history. She's also worked as a model, college athlete, reporter, prosecutor, TV executive, tech lawyer, and clerk to a federal appellate judge.
She's defended white collar criminals for a lot of money and political asylum seekers for free. Led legal clinics in Africa, and marched with penguins in Antarctica.
Shani's J.D. is one of her greatest strengths; her disability from MS is another. A third is her family roots: the daughter of a Jamaican immigrant, she grew up in a small home in the Bronx with nine other people.
Her screenwriting awards include Fellowships from The Inevitable Foundation (2021) and NBC's Writers On The Verge (2019).
Shani weaves her life in every script she writes, and shares her personal tales in each story she tells.
