Her work explores death, rebirth, racism, fracturing the queen/whore dichotomy, martyrdom on the altar of motherhood and marriage. She represented Slam Nuba at the Women of the World Poetry Slam from 2015-2017. She is the author of Did You Die, Though?, Poems Pay For Passports, Seven Coffins and Shake Sumthin’. She currently resides in Denver, creating transformative work across genres, dancing on her dining room table, singing loud, off-key, and clearing the way for her rebellious great-granddaughters, who will rule the earth in her name.
