My 16,555-word memoir The Racing Mind of the Insatiably Curious Black Femme Queer, where blackness is queerness, and being femme is non-binarism, being more than one or two genders, not exclusively to women of any self-expression. It gives an intersectional illustration of a Black Femme Queer’s racing mentality, vigorous spirit, and beautiful body. Their consciousness is the narrator. The audience is the introduction. 

Overcoming misogynoir, anti-blackness, and misgendering throughout their life, they voice their epiphany on loving themselves, reclaiming beauty, healing, and letting go of past traumas, reflecting on their survival, and asserting their visibility. This collective portrait of hybrid poetic and prose prompts a discussion that critically inquires about the complexities of race, nonbinary gender, size, intimate relationships, neurotypical ableism, sexual and romantic freedom, and sexuality, and how they overlap. 

It draws on subjects around Africana Studies, Queer Writing, Black Feminism, Caste Studies, and Critical Race Theory. These poems are grouped into four topics: Blackness, Apoly (a sexual and/or romantic orientation), Death, and Wonkadory. 

My memoir envisions the lives of my family of women: my mother, Tamara; my grandmother, Levita; my grandaunt, Della; my great-grandmother, Rose; and my great-great-grandmother, Lugenia. 

Each poem is based on my experience with them, the stories my family told me of their lives from Memphis, Tennessee to Chicago, Illinois. Through hybrid poetic forms and prose, original paintings and photo portraits, the text mediates on the overlapping complexities of black motherhood, the importance of holding onto family values of faith and love, the education of Africana Studies, and living for Black Feminism, overcoming many trials and tribulations, surviving their childhood, and the legacy they pass on. 

It also confronts the anxiety for safety and generational trauma from surviving Antebellum, Jim Crow, racial segregation, racial violence, erasure, colorism, miscarriages, and misogyny that continues to impact their descendants down the line. Overall, this is my family genealogy through the lens of the mother and her daughters.

Spoon, against Knife and Fork, is a murder mystery set in the current time, where a small getaway is nearly deterred by three incidents: a severe asthma attack, a near-threatening overdose, and the murder of an international trans student. The group comprises 11 Black femmes, a Korean-American Trans femme, and a nonbinary person. There are two supervisors, an advisor, a professor, two chaperones, a detective out of commission, and six students. One of the students is nonbinary. One of the two chaperones is a member of an investigation agency that services BIPOC communities. The other chaperone is a mysterious international freelance investigator who takes on this case, while also working on another case involving the death of a student from the same school. 

The novels are a tapestry of the narratives of characters living during the War in the Human Realm and Ptomagoten Realm, involved with the war syndicate, known as C.L.A.W.S (Canis Lupus Animalia Woles Sapien). It features humans, human Mages, and four canid shapeshifters known as Croatations navigating violent political upheavals and schemes, war casualties, systemic discriminations, and global tensions across dimensions. 

The story follows the gamut run by a collage of characters: two rebellious Afro-Dominican sisters, Jessica and Rebbecca, separated by the forceful drafting of young Mages in the war fronts; a Carib American girl is tricked into being a comfort woman for rogue soldiers of C.L.A.W.S.; an intelligence agent working for the opposing war party within the syndicate; the inner workings of the opposing Croatations military soldiers, the Canidaetents, and a cat whose presence forbode future change for all who come near her. The novels span across decades, and different regions, and show many perspectives.
