Biography
I study Black Canadian women's life writing. I examine ways through which these narratives challenge existing theories of autobiography. Through my research, I hope to tease out Black Canada’s contribution to the literary field of Canadian life writing, and to showcase how Black women’s auto/biographies have shaped, and continue to shape, Black consciousness in Canada.
