Because of her work, she's been featured in The Washington Post, Ms., ESSENCE, EBONY, and on CNN. Her first book, Be a Father to Your Child: Real Talk from Black Men on Family, Love, and Fatherhood, was published by Soft Skill Press/Counterpoint to critical acclaim. Her second book, I've Got Life!, is newly focused on Black women artists, activists, and healers (slated for 2023).
