Taylor Lee Hom 譚李嘉藖 is a film producer, writer, and journalist. Recently she created, wrote, and reported Unfinished: Deep South—an audio documentary series produced by Market Road Films and Stitcher-Witness Docs. The podcast was nominated for a Peabody, an Ambie, and the Scripps Howard journalism award. It was also ranked one of the year’s best podcasts by The Atlantic.
Taylor’s work focuses on topics of social justice, abolition, and decolonization. She is most inspired by stories that exist beyond the mainstream narrative and archive. Taylor has filmed across the U.S., Middle East and Africa, covering stories such as the Kurdish fight against ISIS in Northern Iraq, the theft of African American land in Jim Crow South, dissident journalism in Angola, and the role of women in the Arab Spring.
Other recent projects include HBO’s acclaimed true-crime series The Vow (2022) as well as the Oscar-shortlisted documentary Takeover (2021). She is a 2017 recipient of Impact Partner's Producing Fellowship and a member of Brown Girls Doc Mafia. In 2021, she was a storyteller-in-residence at Denison University. She is a graduate of New York University’s honors program where she studied journalism, political economy, and Arabic.
Most recently she was a senior producer and writer at Market Road Films, a independent production company owned by two time Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, Lynn Nottage and Emmy Award winning filmmaker, Tony Gerber. She is currently working on a documentary short about Asian migrant massage workers (Market Road Films, 2026).
She lives on Lenape land (Brooklyn) with her partner, the writer, Neil Shea and their three joyful children.
