Artistic Statement

“The role of the artist is to make the revolution irresistible.” - Toni Cade Bambara

I write to awaken my own revolutions of healing and joy. I write to remind myself and my people of our power.
I write Black stories that remind us of the deep wells of ancestral wisdom, humor and experiences we pull from.
I write to remember that another world is possible.
