I write about the emotional architecture of American life — race, class, lineage, and the institutions that claim to shape us. My work has been cited by the American Medical Association, taught in national curriculum, and carried into rooms I was never meant to enter. I write from the margins to hold power accountable to what it refuses to feel — the unseen, the unheard, and the forgotten.
