I am a Black queer Womanist committed to liberation for all people and the Earth. I’m a family member, friend, writer, visual artist, archivist, global citizen, and award-winning teacher. My research and teaching areas include African American and African Diasporic literature and art, Womanist Thought, Cultural Studies, and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. In the classroom, I strive to create a discussion-oriented space for students to learn, or unlearn, in ways that enhance their understanding of and responsibility to the world around them. My work has appeared in Callaloo, Black Perspectives, World Wildlife Magazine, The Conversation, Diverse: Issues in Higher Education, and Women In Higher Education, among other publications.
