My debut , No Sense In Wishing, is finally on the way! Out on July 8, 2025 via Atria Books. This book is a collection of original essays that, in every story, contends with how different forms of cultural production (an album, artist, film, book, neighborhood event, etc) have the power to transform us. How we’re never the same people after encountering these acts of expression and how, in many cases, these encounters can save us. It travels from the blocks of my beloved Baltimore, to cramped office cubicles I didn’t think I’d escape, to South African townships, concerts in Lagos, my grandmother’s kitchen. So on and so forth. A real labor of love that I can’t wait for people to hold in their hands. ⁣You can pre-order here!
