Creative nonfiction braided essays, are my favourite way to chew on a tough issue. Over and over again, I am reminded, the personal is never just mine to hold, but part of something vast and deeply collective.
In 2020, I wrote The COVID Essays. 40 essays unpacking feminism, decolonization, ableism, fatphobia, creativity, and more. I write from my own complex and deeply nuanced perspective of a woman living the Global South.
DeColonize Your Eyes is my published book featuring poetry and prose chronicling my journey of extricating the legacy of colonization from my hands, soul and mind.
I continue this work through my Substack newsletter, Hold The Complex, a space where I write about what we often overlook, what deserves more time, more depth and ultimately more love.
