I am a critical/cultural communication scholar who works at the intersections of intepersonal communication and African American communication studies. My current research examines how genetic ancestry tests shape contemporary constructions of Blackness.
Aside from my scholarly work, I enjoy engaging in the arts. I am the former editor of Ruminate Magazine‘s online publication, The Waking, and I’ve read for Split Lip Magazine and The Common. In my free time, I enjoy writing poetryand learning to paint.
