Refashioning History
My dissertation, “Refashioning History: Women as Sartorial Storytellers” illuminates the relationship between history and literature as fields of cultural production within the African diaspora.

This essay focuses on the author's use of the silhouette as an attempt to render the representative impasse of unacknowledged narratives of poverty and disavowed colonial histories in the urban landscape
