My research mostly focuses on long fiction (although I write some short fiction and the odd personal essay). I am interested in exploring identity, queerness, religion, race and colonialism. I am interested in questions of what Britishness means today, and stories of immigrants and their descendants. Formally, I am interested in playing with structure and point of view, and considering how tragedy and/or comedy can be wielded in fiction.

Most of my work is in long-form fiction, although I occasionally write essays and short fiction. Much of my writing centres on Black British life, queerness, family (whether genetic or chosen) and faith. My debut novel The Private Joys of Nnenna Maloney (Dialogue Books/Little,Brown, 2019) is about a half-Nigerian teenage girl who is determined to learn about her Igbo heritage. My second novel, Here Again Now (Dialogue Boooks/Little,Brown, 2022), is inspired by the Book of Ruth from the Old Testament.
