Her writing has been anthologized in such presses as BLF Press's Black to the Future and the Resonance Network's Black Freedom Beyond Borders: Re- imagining Gender in Marvel's Wakanda, which underlined the feminist, socio-political, and racially effective prose she seeks and continues to craft.

Her poetry chapbook "Variations on a Lobster's Tale" was the winner of the 2017 Alexander Posey Chapbook Prize (University of Central Oklahoma Press, 2018) and her second poetry chapbook "Sterling" was released in 2019 (CW Books). She is the winner of the 2018 Likely Red Fiction Chapbook contest and has been nominated for two Pushcart Prizes.
