She focuses on black women whose work have contributed to Pan-African Liberations and movements work have contributed to Pan-African Liberations and movements while leaving a trail of womanist geographies caused by their transnational political engagement in contemporary and past radical efforts. These leaders and change agents have participated in the Civil Rights Movement, Anti-Apartheid Movement, African-Centered Education Movement, and Reparation Movement to name a few.
