Janina Edwards

Janina is a graduate of New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, and recorded her first audiobook in 1987. She was born in Chicago, soaked in New York City’s African and West Indian accents for 11 years, and for the past 20 years has swum in the swagger of the south (Atlanta, GA). As a result, she excels in portraying authentic characters and voices of the African Diaspora. Her 2018 audiobook, The Wedding Date, is an Earphones Award winner, and she also voiced its sequel, The Proposal. Voice of Freedom (2016, Dreamscape) was an Audie Finalist. Beyond narrating audiobooks she is a certified yoga teacher, sings kirtan, and plays the violin.
