I am deeply interested in how Afro-diasporic gestures transcend time by operating within and outside interactive, visual, physical, and musical stimuli. I use this research to connect to my unknown ancestry and nostalgia for the American South. I view this route as a means to foster a clearer understanding of how the future of Blackness and narratives of Black people are shaped by our interpretation of past histories and experiences.

Through this ongoing research, I aim to understand how to address the increasingly complex post-displacement Black narrative within the context of environmental struggles. By this, I mean the many Black stories told by Black folk during and after the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and European Colonization, which make up most of our understanding of Black consciousness presently. These histories are the core of why I create dance performances, as I aim to produce intersectional (within Academia, Womanhood, Blackness, Movement, and Spirituality), genuine, fact-centered work that adds purposeful commentary to social conversations of a possible futuristic landscape.

I heavily utilized academic, urban, and oral sources as an entry point into emotionally charged and triggering themes (e.g., alienation, liberation, digitalization, mutilation, and futuristic landscapes). This approach has built multi-layered and dimensional performances that offer audiences multiple entry points.
