She is a Cave Canem founding fellow and has been a featured reader at the Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Festival and the Library of Congress. She also is a past winner of The Caribbean Writer's Canute A. Brodhurst Prize in Short Fiction and an Archie D. & Bertha H. Walker Scholarship to the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Her first book, Carambola, was published in 2012 by David Robert Books. National Book Award-winning author Charles Johnson cited its poems as "deliciously sensuous, smart...vivid, and luminous with the life of the spirit...."
