Storyteller, author, creative.

I am writer, curator, and an occasional artist.

I’m working on short story collection about the contemporary, bi-cultural experiences of black Caribbean immigrants to the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. In a short film, The Visit (2009), and in non-fiction essays “H" is for Hopsi (1995) and Three Friends (1990), I explored related themes of migration, identification, and cross-cultural exchange.

I have been invited to participate in group art exhibitions.

• For OUTLOOK and the Birth of the Queer at the GLBT History Center (2017-18), I created Outlook: No Fear, an assemblage of a library card file drawer and xeroxed pages from the journal Outlook--cut down to index card size--to make a statement on the history’s messy excesses.

• In collaboration with photographer S. Renée Jones, I created the social practice project Come to the Table for Vanishing Point: The 3.9 Art Collective Reflects on Black Communities in San Francisco, staged at three San Francisco sites (the Dr. George W. Davis Senior Center; the African-American Art & Culture Complex; and the Jewish Community Center of Francisco) in 2017. We facilitated conversation among black San Franciscans--seniors and thirty-somethings, long-time residents and newcomers--over communal and healthy soul food meals. Jones’s documentation of the gatherings was displayed in the Jewish Community Center’s Katz Snyder Art Gallery.

• For Declarations for the New Year, an exhibition conceptualized and created by Related Tactics at Southern Exposure Gallery (2016), I made a text poster, What Can We No Longer Pretend Not to Know, about silences around hard-to-discuss topics. [The poster was fabricated and printed by designer Shawn Tamaribuchi.]
