La Shawn Barber is an American columnist and blogger who lives in the Washington D.C. area.
Barber is a native of South Carolina. An alcoholic in her younger years, Barber took a vow of sobriety and abstinence shortly before her thirtieth birthday.[1] She later moved to Washington, D.C. to serve as a legislative correspondent for a Democratic senator. She eventually became a political conservative and a Christian.
Since Barber turned to writing, her articles, book reviews, columns and essays have been published in The Washington Times, The Washington Post, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, The Denver Post, the Baltimore Times Online, Today's Christian Woman and other publications. Her work has also appeared online at Jewish World Review, National Review Online, Townhall.com and other sites.
Barber is best known for her weblog, La Shawn Barber's Corner, where she typically writes on religious, political and moral issues from a Christian and black conservative perspective. In March 2007, she cut down on political blogging in favor of other writing.[2]
Barber also runs Fantasy Fiction for Christians, a blog "for Christians who read fantasy fiction".[3]
