I'm a UK-based writer and historian. My work focuses on the Black Press and histories of Black Chicago. More broadly, I'm interested in histories of race and media in the US and Black diaspora.

​I am the author of Ebony Magazine and Lerone Bennett Jr.: Popular Black History in Postwar America (Illinois, 2020), which was named as one of the year's best Black history books by Black Perspectives, and received an honorable mention in the Research Society for American Periodicals' 2020 Book Prize.

My next book, A House for the Struggle: The Black Press and the Built Environment in Chicago, will be published in 2022 by the University of Illinois Press.

I am currently working on two manuscripts; Our Kind of Historian: The Work and Activism of Lerone Bennett Jr. (University of Massachusetts Press), and The Modern Black Press in the United States (Edinburgh University Press)
