I’m a writer of nonfiction, exploring minority politics (in particular, race representation, queer and gender issues, mental health, and migration and diaspora), film and media, pop culture, linguistics, literature, the publishing industry, education and philosophy, as well as the many intersections between these fields.

I also write poetry, mostly on love, desire, language and distance.
