A poem she penned calling out the patriarchy was part of Atlanta-based Wimsikal Press’ May 2021 issue of Get Down, Ladies – a DIY zine reminiscent of the Riot Grrrl movement. Her six word piece was selected for Orange Blush Zine’s first micro-poetry issue in which the visual artists picked the pieces they wanted their art to reflect
