Taylor Lee Hom 譚李嘉藖 is a filmmaker, writer, and journalist whose work explores decolonization, memory, and the creative possibilities of the archive. She is drawn to stories that are often obscured or erased, approaching them as sites of resistance—pushing against dominant narratives and forging new storytelling methods that confront erasure and rebuild lives beyond the archive with texture, feeling, and form.
She is the creator, writer, and reporter of Unfinished: Deep South—a documentary series exploring the life and lynching of one of the wealthiest Black landowners in the Arkansas Delta (Stitcher-Witness Docs / Market Road Films). The podcast was nominated for a Peabody Award, an Ambie award, and was ranked one of the podcasts of the year by The Atlantic. Other projects include HBO’s acclaimed true-crime series The Vow (2022) as well as the Oscar-shortlisted documentary Takeover (2021). Her work has taken her 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.
Previously Taylor was a senior producer at Market Road Films, an 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 an experimental documentary film about Asian migrant massage workers (Market Road Films, 2026) and a five-part audio documentary series (Raedio/Audible, 2026).
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.
She lives on unceded Lenape land with her partner, the writer, Neil Shea and their three joyful children.
