She attributes a large part of her artistic influence to dancing with her queer chosen family, Audre Lorde, and the process of writing her signature love letters.

She is the author of “Mommy Issues: Poems for the Fragile, Queer Heart.” Their writing has also appeared in Issues of Sinister Wisdom: A Multicultural Lesbian Literary & Art journal, Solstice Literary Magazine, Black Joy Unbound: An Anthology published by BLF Press, and more.
