Being an academic and improving human and organizational performance are how I successfully earned a living. However, my passion has always been creative writing and storytelling. From poetry to cultural criticism to short stories and creative nonfiction, my writings unveil lesser known stories of ordinary and historical figures.

Whether it is bringing to life the story of Madame Celine Alvarez Baa, the Barbadian woman who returned Adele Hugo to her father, Victor Hugo, or a narrative about free Africans living in seventeenth century Sevilla, Spain, I rescue these stories to invite our imaginations to resurrect from the footnotes of history and fiction the story of the African in the diaspora.
