Through the years.

“As a scholar, it is vital for us to share our knowledge beyond the form of critique; I believe it is even more urgent to create and build with others alternatives that transform our current systems, imagination and ways of being. Rather than critiquing the prison industrial complex, it is just as necessary to invest in building communities that practice Transformative Justice principles to reduce unnecessary harm. My work is deeply engaged with creating and sustaining visible and accessible forms of transformative media beyond the university to multiple publics.”
