She is listed in the reference book, 80 Black Women in Horror and has given talks and lectures about African Horror, including at the prestigious Miskatonic Institute of Horror Studies, London. Her works have also featured in academic and feminist studies such as Routledge Handbook of African Literature and Women Write About Comics.
