About ME.
I am an artist and storyteller whose practice focuses on the intersection of race, class, gender, sexual orientation as well as intergenerational memory and trauma with a particular interest in how these intersections warp daily life.
In addition to using third party platforms such as Instagram and LinkedIn for site-specific artistic and culture-shifting multimedia interventions, I designed I'm Here Too, a website dedicated to storytelling in multiple forms (visual, audio, literary).
I often employ my wry sense of humor to transcend traditional observations of how the New York City artworld operates through projects including a blog as the Art Dealer’s Daughter; my novels How to Raise an Art Star and How to Date a Black Girl as well as Spilling the Tea, a Kwanzaa-themed takeover of my wife Hilary Harkness’s Instagram account. I also produced Black Like Us, a documentary video exploring the lives of an intergenerational group of affluent African Americans.
A three-time alumna of the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference in Fiction, Poetry and Non-Fiction, I received a degree in Art History and Visual Arts from Princeton University. I also received a JD from the New York University School of Law and currently serve as a member of the MoMA PS1 Board of Directors Executive Committee and as Chair of the Audit Committee.
