CURATION
In June-July 2025 I co-curated, programmed, and produced Sickly Sweet Revenge, an exhibition and public events programme featuring the work of thirty artists and writers. I am also the founder of Blue Parlour, a curatorial project and network providing an uncensored platform for artists whose practices engage with sex and sexuality.

My writing practice is rooted in my postgraduate research in gender and sexuality and extends across multiple forms, including journalling, essay, poetry, experimental fiction.

PUBlishing
I am Director of Awaiting Press, which represents the literary works of Assata Shakur. I previously served as Editorial and Managing Director of Zed Books, an international non-fiction publisher acquired by Bloomsbury PLC in 2020. I have fifteen years of board-level experience within the UK publishing industry.
During my tenure at Zed Books, I developed and oversaw an independent, world-leading list in the critical social sciences, arts and humanities. I was responsible for commissioning, curating, and evaluating scholarly contributions across multiple disciplines, with a particular focus on the interdisciplinary fields of decolonisation, queer and gender philosophy, political economy, philosophy, ecology and environmental studies.
