Areas of study

Visual art rooted in womanist thought

A studio practice that draws from womanist theology and the visual traditions of Black Christianity, centering the interior lives of Black women and girls.

Art education as formation

Teaching art as a practice of seeing, choosing, and composing — a framework shaped by womanist thought and liberation pedagogy, built for Black girls in church and community settings.

Womanist biblical interpretation

Engaging Scripture with historical rigor and womanist intentionality, in conversation with Delores Williams, Renita Weems, Katie Geneva Cannon, and Wil Gafney.

Black church & liberation theology

Studying the Black church as sanctuary, resistance, and formation space — with both deep love and honest critique of how it has shaped the spiritual lives of women and girls.

Spiritual formation & practical theology

Faith that forms identity, protects dignity, and cultivates depth — with attention to prayer, discipleship, embodiment, and how communal practices land differently in the bodies and lives of Black women and girls.
