Current Projects

LaKeshia is writing an ensemble speculative fiction trilogy examining generational trauma and cultural reckoning. Through interconnected families and timelines, the series explores how ancestral and spiritual forces shape identity, memory, and consequence. As past decisions echo forward, each character must acknowledge what they've inherited and understand that doesn't define them and cycles can be interrupted—but at what cost?
