About Me

Bahamian-American, Librarian, Writer.

Born and raised in the islands, now living in the United States with my husband, I’ve dedicated my life to the pursuit of knowledge, reading, and a deep appreciation for art.

It was difficult to find LGBTQ+ books growing up, and I wasn’t comfortable asking anyone; I spent countless hours researching books, authors, and publishers so you don’t have to.

As a former library director and bookseller, I thoroughly enjoy connecting with people and putting their next favorite book in their hands.

I facilitate an ongoing book club with child therapists and psychologists, discussing adolescent experiences while exploring middle grade and young adult literature.

“Stories," he'd said, his voice low and almost husky, "we are made up of stories. And even the ones that seem the most like lies can be our deepest hidden truths.”
