About Me

I am dedicated to telling the histories of the African diaspora in ways that highlight resilience, creativity, and connection. My work is grounded in a belief that scholarship should be accessible and meaningful to the communities it represents. I strive to bridge the gap between the academy and the public, creating spaces where knowledge can inform dialogue, justice, and belonging.
