I am a writer, author and scholar with interests in racial equity and justice. I have found that all too often, these issues are discussed in a predictable way, regardless of the politics of the commentators. Therefore, my aim is to focus on the more controversial aspects of these topics – those angles that tend to be neglected by other writers. My focus is very much on courageous conversations; shining a light on injustice; and empowering marginalized communities.
​
I have lived and worked in several countries including the USA, Barbados, the UK and Nigeria. During my time at the Morehouse School of Medicine, I served as an editor for an important book entitled“Social Determinants of Health among African-American Men”(2012); I am also thelead author of an article of the same name.
​

Social Determinants of Health among African-American Menwas the first book to methodically address the impact of social factors, especially racial discrimination, on the health of African-American men. Moreover, it reframes the victim-blaming approach to Black men’s health, which unfairly portrays Black men as"'hard to reach’ with ‘poor help-seeking attitudes and behaviors.’”

In 2004, I earned my PhD in Social Policy at the London School of Economics and Political Science. My personal “About Me Story” is publishedherebyAbout Me Stories;my Wiki-style Bio can be viewed ​​here.
