(? - ) US teacher and author; the protagonist of her first novel, the Young Adult Needy Little Things (2025), is a Black teenager immersed in the complexities of life in Atlanta, where she discovers herself to possess a Psi Power combining Telepathy (she can hear others' unspoken needs) and Precognition (what they need is something to help them cope with future events). The disappearance of one of those she has helped, the inadequate attention paid to this by the police because she is Black, and the sometimes disjunctive energy-level of her family, combine plausibly.
