Her areas of expertise include Black feminism\, critical race studies\, critical communication studies\, Caribbean postcolonial studies\, and beauty politics.

She has written and edited several books\, including Romance With Voluptuousness: Caribbean Women and Thick Bodies in the United States. Her work has also appeared in academic journals such as Women’s Studies Quarterly\, The International Journal of Cultural Studies\, and Feminism and Psychology.
