She is the author of Black Souls Dance On Beat (2015) and produced an award-winning, one-woman show called Passport To Womanhood in 2013.  

When not performing, speaking, or doing diversity work, Alex's 24/7 job is being mother to a vivacious 3 year old daughter. Her self-care routine includes peanut M & M's, prayer, and sleep. She uses her voice through art as a way to express her views on her lived experience and to speak to the struggles of other oppressed people. 

Alex received her bachelor’s degree from the University of California - Irvine and a master’s degree from Claremont Graduate University.
