Named the 2020-2021 Youth Poet Laureate of the Southern United States, she gained recognition for her debut memoir-in-verse, “Walking Gentry Home” (2022), which traces nine generations of her family’s history, from an enslaved ancestor in West Tennessee to her own coming-of-age as a Black woman.

The book, informed by archival research and interviews, is a bestselling poetry collection of the 21st century.
