Before I wrote my soon-to-be published picture book, I wrote this for @ChemistryWorld about scientist Jim West. 🎤
"Most people don’t know that an African American inventor made it possible for them to speak to loved ones..."

Wow lots of new followers. If you’re new here, I’ve been researching and writing about nonvoters and the working class, particularly in the battleground state of Wisconsin, since 2017. First with this @curaffairs piece dissecting Clinton’s loss +

The Museum of the City of New York has an awesome new exhibition on Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman in Congress and first to run for President. She’d be 100 this year. I’m a trained guide at the museum so don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like a tour. It’s very timely!

I’m pleased to share the cover art for my upcoming book, Washing My Mother’s Body, releasing on 4/1. It is an illustrated, book-length poem, with beautiful art by Dana Tiger, which offers a way through grief when the loss appears unbearable. The preorder link is in my bio.
