WRITING
I experiment with many different styles of writing and am enthusiastic about not letting one form or field define me. While I have covered many topics, my passion lies at the intersection of culture, the arts, identity, and activism.You can find my work in Teen Vogue, ABC, The Huffington Post, Romper, Blavity, and Dame, among others, and I used to write and edit part-time for ABC News.
I formerly served as editorial director of Me With Power magazine, a digital publication and creative hub celebrating women of color through interactive storytelling. I am Watering Hole Poetry Fellowship alumni and continue to write poetry in my spare time.
