My book Can Migration Studies be Decolonized? is now up for pre-order with Bristol University Press! 📚

It’s been such a journey. full of questions, conversations, and generous people.

Feeling surreal (and excited!) to see it live. 💛

Excellent news. Can Migration Studies be Decolonized? is making its way to print in 2026. Incredibly grateful to everyone that helped me get here! 🙏

It would sound odd to hear that French literature can only be written in Japanese, or English literature in IsiZulu, so that when you meet a French writer who writes in French, you look at them in surprise. yet this absurdity is expected of African writers and writers from those formerly colonised.

"It is ironic that the executive order makes provision for refugee status in the US for a group in South Africa that remains amongst the most economically privileged, while vulnerable people in the US from other parts of the world are being deported and denied asylum despite real hardship."
