She has received awards from National Endowment for the Arts, Fulbright Foundation, National Performance Network, New York State Council on the Arts, and the Ucross/Alpert Residency Prize, and collaborated across disciplines with artists including Okwui Okpokwasili and Peter Born, Ralph Lemon, Sunny Jain and Grey Mcmurray, Sunil Bald, and Sekou Sundiata.
