Writing

 I write about the arts, community, memory, and history—not necessarily in that order. My interests run from lyric essay to public history to artist profiles, mostly about people of color. Whatever the genre, format, or venue, I’m always interested in connecting communities.

A few samples of my recent work:

‘Tidying Up’ My Family’s Camp Dresser  (Personal essay, Discover Nikkei)

My Dad Died Decades Ago. An Online Stranger Taught Me About The Man He Was. (Personal essay, Narratively)

Tacoma author explores Black lives in new book  (Profile, Crosscut)

Tacoma Neighborhoods: Japantown (HistoryLink)

D Is For Daughter (Lyric essay, Full Grown People)
