It will soon be published in an African American Religious Studies anthology.

Her other online platform, Brown Girls Love STEM is an online resource to encourage girls and women of color to pursue STEM degrees. In 2019, she was featured on Let’s Talk Bruh, a podcast on black masculinity, to discuss what black men should know about feminism.
