I tell stories about the Other. Like many people of colour, I wrestle with how to move through a western society in which any first impression of me begins with my skin colour. I am interested in how this relation to colour and ethnicity shapes how a child grows into an adult.

Moreover, I am concerned with issues that affect women, specifically girls. I often write about these issues through the lens of a girl on the cusp of womanhood, when these girls are forced into a situation that robs them of their girlhood.

I also love writing about memory and trauma - how interconnected these two are. Memory is an endlessly fascinating way to explore how a person ticks. There are the memories we remember verbatim and there are the memories we choose to forget, that we choose to change, that we do not realize we have changed. And there are the memories that are not even ours at all. That is the most fascinating of all - legacy through memories - the power in that, and the harm in that.

In short, I write about what fascinates me, what angers me, what delights me, and what confuses me.
