We Are Local Author || Christina Dennaoui

Christina Dennaoui is an American rapper, digital strategy maniac and all-around tweed clad bad-ass. Only she, with her old man prowess, can make wearing tweed blazers and driving loafers nothing short of miraculous. Her old man swagger, coupled with unnecessary intellectualism and a penchant for kitsch and serial commas, made her a hit at all of the graduate student parties she attended while at the University of Chicago.

After acquiring two degrees in a field of study that is useless to everyone except for academics and Homeland Security, she decided to give up the ghost on rap and armchair anthropology. In her post-graduate school life, she works as a (social) media and brand reputation analyst in the research division of a highly ranked Public Relations firm.  She’s an artist, musician, and maintains a blog read by a riveted audience of three.

Christina’s ‘Beat’: She’ll be writing about the culture of social media and its implications for everyday life. On occasion her posts will be critical analyses of the opinions of social media ‘experts.’ Other times, she will be conducting guerilla style interviews with strangers to pick their brains about what this thing called ‘social media’ really means.
