I currently serve as the senior director of Culture, Community, and Partner Engagement for the Michael C. Carlos Museum, Emory University Libraries, and the Center for Digital Scholarship. In this capacity, I am responsible for developing initiatives that connect Emory’s collecting institutions to the cultural and civic ecosystems of Atlanta. My notable multidisciplinary projects include the 2025 exhibition, "Beyond the 50: Continuing Hip Hop’s Legacy in Atlanta,"–the Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport’s first exhibition featuring Hip Hop materials from Emory’s Special Collections–and Emory’s 2026 World Cup initiative, "Footwork," featuring campus-wide programming, sneaker conventions, and exhibitions for the matches scheduled in Atlanta.

As a curator, my recent exhibitions include Come Ruin or Rapture (Michael C. Carlos Museum, 2024) and A Haunting Between Us (Clark Atlanta University Art Museum, 2024). Both exhibitions featured the work of the acclaimed contemporary artist La Vaughn Belle from St. Croix. As a visual artist, and my most recent work is the 2026 solo exhibition, His Dope Materials: Tools for a Restless Mind at Gallery 72 in Atlanta, GA. In this exhibit, I present origami sculptures, illustrations, and film, as meditations on the themes of memory and fragmentation.

In my scholarly work, I am the co-editor of The Black Speculative Arts Movement (2019), a collection that contributes to the global scholarly discourse on the field of Afrofuturism studies. I am also an accomplished filmmaker, having directed the 2024 award-nominated short documentary, Zorahead: The Life and Times of Valerie Boyd, as well as the 2017 film, Let’s Go to Work!: Chicago Steppin’ in Atlanta. Additionally, I am the co-founder of The Tenth, a startup company designed to connect newcomers and curious residents of Atlanta to the city's vibrant culture.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy from Morehouse College and a Master of Arts and Ph.D. in American Studies from the Institute for Liberal Arts at Emory University.
