Her curatorial work can be seen in many exhibitions, print publications, and digital formats, which are all anchored by professional practices that aim to elevate the viewer experience through thoughtful research-based storytelling.
In 2020, she created the popular Instagram project, @emalineandthem that highlights archival photography of everyday ancestors from the late 1800s and early 1900s. She also curated the photography featured in the New York Times' 1619 Project Book (2021), and her debut picture book, entitled Dear Yesteryear.
♡“I’ve spent years researching my family history, and still find time whenever I can.
My mother has an ancestor who fought in the American Revolutionary War, and much of her lineage is rooted in the Occaneechi Band of the Saponi Nation (OBSN.org). In contrast, many of my father’s ancestors were once enslaved on plantations in South Carolina.
I am constantly seeking ways to honor the rich histories that define my existence.”
