My latest piece for Yale University Press is now live! It's a discovery of rupture & reclamation; a praxis that refuses linearity, embraces radical possibility, & unearths memory as confrontation. Abolitionist art does not ask for permission. It insists. It disrupts. It survives.

✹ Honored to be the keynote artist for an international residency with Lēnablou's LaFabri'k in Guadeloupe. In 5 days, I co-created a powerful piece with Bernardo Montet—where movement, memory & language danced as one. A living mosaic of voices & grace. To all who joined—Thanks!
