I’m a Canadian author and magazine journalist. My first book, The Temple at the End of the Universe, published by House of Anansi Press, is out on June 6, 2023.

I live in Winnipeg, MB, Treaty 1 territory and homeland of the Métis nation. I grew up in Burkina Faso, and completed an MFA in creative writing at the University of British Columbia.

I’ve written personal essays and long-form journalism on religion, activism, climate change, parenting, and Burkina Faso for publications that include The Globe & Mail, The Walrus, Broadview, Utne Reader, Hazlitt, Eighteen Bridges, Quill & Quire, The Vancouver Sun, The Ottawa Citizen, and Geez.

Two of my essays, “What the Hell?” and “The Way We Give,” were National Magazine Awards finalists. I received a Canada Council for the Arts grant to report this story about a revolutionary figure who has long intrigued me, and an Amnesty International Media Award for my reporting on rising seas in Bangladesh. This story about a friend who survived a war of vengeance in the Democratic Republic of Congo received the Dave Greber Freelance Writers Award.

I’ve published fiction in The Walrus, Prairie Fire, and The New Quarterly. Read my most recent short story in The Walrus.

I’m represented by CookeMcDermid literary agency.
