I write about justice, memory, and the quiet, complex ways pain lingers in the body. I study trauma, wrongful convictions, and the intersection of psychology and criminality.

The Real Life Wakanda (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you think the war in the Democratic Republic of Congo has nothing to do with you, think again. All of our modern technology, from our phones, to laptops, to even the electric cars on our roads depend on a mineral, deep in the mines of Congo.
