"I live in music."

 — ntozake shange 

MY WORK IS AN INVITATION.

MY COMPOSITIONS ARE MY PEDAGOGY.

THE MUSIC IS WHERE I LIVE.

My lens is through that of a proud Black queer composer and my calling as a writer is to tap into the universal truths of our most complex emotions and complicated experiences. My practice is by way of Detroit, to Northern Michigan, to the Canarsie and Munsee Lenape land known as Brownsville, Brooklyn.

IN MY WRITING I EXIST OUTSIDE OF THE BINARY AND EMBRACE THE SPACE BETWEEN.

I can release myself from the pressure of perfection, the expectation of stereotypes, and the rigidity of conformity. I can transform my anger into action and put into practice all that I have and continue to learn from Black feminists, queer pioneers, accessibility advocates, social work practitioners and community builders.
