I am currently agent-shopping a novel and querying a narrative nonfiction biography proposal. Both explore themes of identity situated within the broader, US historical landscape. I am also co-editing a collection of adoptee writing about estrangement.

Each week I publish Black Lit Crit, a newsletter devoted to the work of Black literary critics.

And I’ve got jokes! If the weekly Adoption Pop! reel captions on Instagram and the episode show notes tickle your funny bone, those are all me too. (But only if you think they’re funny).

My writing is 100% free from generative AI everywhere it appears in public and in private.
