Artist Statement

Poetry allows me the spells and liberation work to build the world I want to see and fully exist without apologies and sincerity. There is no place to hide within my words. I hope someone feels found, while seeing myself simultaneously through words.  Creativity includes writing and my spiritual work. I see my intersectionality’s of being Black, Caribbean, Latinx and a woman as added spice and tools to further build what world I’d like to live in via the imagination and what we believe is truly possible. I’ve learned to keep doing what lights me up and hope to help further this light one word at a time.

Interests:

Afrofuturism, magical realism, epic poems, creative and cultural equity in writing spaces, curating creative safe spaces & workshops.
