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.
