Bio
I am currently interested in the folklore and cosmological tradition of ancient African civilizations, and the transference of said traditions in modern Black diasporic rhetoric and communication. Works of interest include: Beyoncé’s 2016 album Lemonade, Zora Neale Hurston’s short story “Black Death,” and Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon. I am keenly interested in the perseverance of Black tradition under the constraints of colonialism and slavery, and the appearance of the rhetorical traditions in modern society.
