public writing
(and interviews)
Below are some of my public-facing writings and interviews on social justice and Abolition. These build on my background in Africana Studies, Marxism, and Philosophy, as well as my political practice within various political formations and community groups.
My collaborative work has been published in public outlets such as The Brooklyn Rail, Jacobin, Abolition Journal, Commune Magazine, In These Times and Verso.
Below you can also find some interviews I conducted as a co-producer of Rustbelt Abolition Radio (RAR).
