Ethos

My work is grounded in the belief that storytelling is a form of resistance and that history must be continually reclaimed by those who have been pushed to its margins. As a Caribbean poet of Indigenous heritage, educator, and immigrant rights activist, my writing and organising exist at the intersection of memory, justice, and liberation.

Through poetry, education, and community organising, I explore the layered realities of migration, identity, and belonging. I write from and for communities whose histories have been silenced or distorted, including undocumented people, immigrants, Indigenous peoples, and those living under systems of displacement and occupation. My work seeks not only to document these realities, but to reframe them: to challenge dominant narratives, to honour ancestral memory, and to imagine futures rooted in dignity and collective freedom.

Education and advocacy are central to this practice. Whether working with immigrant students and families, facilitating workshops, or supporting youth-led organising, I believe knowledge must be shared in ways that empower communities to understand their histories and transform their conditions.

This ethos extends beyond borders. The struggle for immigrant justice in the United States is inseparable from global struggles against colonialism, displacement, and state violence from the Caribbean to Palestine and beyond. My work stands in solidarity with all oppressed peoples seeking liberation, self-determination, and the right to exist with dignity.

I want this space to be a gathering place for poetry, memory, and movement-building. It is a place where art and activism meet, where history is questioned and rewritten, and where the imagination becomes a tool for collective liberation.
