This page highlights my published and in-progress work across theology, spiritual care, and the arts, with a focus on Womanist care, Black embodiment, and institutional life—particularly hospitals, prisons, and religious systems.

My writing includes books, peer-reviewed articles, and hybrid artist-theological projects that draw on clinical practice and lived experience to address how care operates under conditions of structural harm.

Forthcoming projects extend this work through Womanist Clinical Pastoral Theology, Blackness as a disability construct, and art as spiritual and ethical intervention.

I am a board-certified chaplain and scholar-practitioner working at the intersection of clinical care, theology, and creative practice.
