Hello! And welcome.

I have a passion for writing about Blackness, books, creepy stuff, and oldies music. I received my MFA in nonfiction creative writing from the New School and my BA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Before becoming a Tar Heel, I was born and raised in Connecticut, where I cultivated a healthy appetite for cinnamon and fall foliage. I live in Brooklyn with my husband and our growing collection of plants.

My debut novel The Other Black Girl was a New York Times bestseller and was adapted into a Hulu Original Series, which premieres September 13th, 2023. My other writing can be found in Esquire, Cosmopolitan, Guernica, the Rumpus, and the New York Times.
