Her practice is interdisciplinary with an emphasis in ceramics, metal, and video/performance. Much of her influence comes from the aesthetics and culture of the diaspora, specifically African and Haitian art, Black culture, and nostalgic memories of New Orleans.

Her experimental investigations through video and performance explore the relationships between physical labor, sexuality, and black womanhood.
