When she’s not on the court as an undiscovered Netball star, she enjoys telling stories that balance lightness, style and cultural consciousness and place front and centre the black African diaspora, female and other marginalised peoples experiences.
She is also a playwright, screenwriter, poet, facilitator, undiscovered Netball star and some other things she is yet to discover…
