Activist & Scholar

I am building my career as a writer and a scholar. I earned a BA in English from UC Berkeley and a MFA in Creative Writing from Mills College. I am a sixth-year graduate student in the Anthropology and Social Change doctoral program at California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco. I also have been on the ISAAC Lead Committee since 2016, he was chair of the committee from 2016-2020.

In 2019 I started a podcast entitled Black Disabled Men Talk with co-hosts Leroy Moore, Keith Jones, and Ottis Smith.

To find more of what I have accomplished a lot during my career, check out my full Curriculum Vitae (CV).

Performer, Poet & Novelist

I published my first poetry book, entitled A Declaration of A Body Of Love, in 2010 chronicling my life as a black man with a disability. I also published another poetry book, entitled Whispers of Krip Love, Shouts of Krip Revolution, in 2020. I co-authored another book of poetry called Studies in Brotherly Love in 2021. I am currently writing a novel tentatively entitled The Third Eye Is Crying.

I participated in the 2007 and 2016 annual theater performances of Sins Invalid and also in their artist-in-residence performance in 2011 entitled Residence Alien.

In 2022, I was an award recipient of the Wynn Newhouse Award for my long career as a disabled artist.
