for a number of years, I have worked on a variety of projects related to tech-facilitated gender based violence (also referred to as online gender based violence), an issue that desproportionately affects Black women.

publications and research:

between 2018 and 2019, I volunteered at Glitch, a nonprofit based in the UK working to end online abuse. during this time, I helped develop this toolkit. (which was later revamped and published in Portuguese too!).

in 2023, I mapped 10 inspiring initiatives fighting online political violence against women in Latin America.

most recently, starting in 2024, I have been collaborating on a research project focusing on the experiences of Black Brazilian women with tech-facilitated gender based violence. 

public speaking:
