Her work centers on the causes of peacemaking, racial justice and LGBTQ rights.

That happens in relationships.” and “At the end of the day, eradicating oppression is the heart of queer womanist theological reflection. We must examine not just racism but sexisms, not just homophobia but transphobia, not jut poverty but war, and not jut the fluidity of boundaries but the hegemony of the status quo.”
