My content is about the aesthetics of living in America on the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, age, and class. Common themes in my artwork and research are Black hair politics, beauty politics, queerness, colorism, generational trauma, the Black Arts Movement, Afrofuturism, intersectionality, Black feminist theory, popular culture, rootwork spirituality, identity politics, and power.
