Research and Teaching Interests, or Professional Field

My research focuses on familial narcissistic abuse, toxic cultural practices, and generational trauma in Afro-Caribbean societies. These topics form the primary basis of my memoir writing.

My teaching interests revolve around Caribbean Literature that examines our culture through a sociological, historical, ecological, and psychological lens, even when the work is seemingly fictionalised.

Future Plans/Aspirations

To write, teach, expose and disrupt.
