She is the editor of Jane Cortez’s collected poems, Firespitter, as well as two groundbreaking anthologies, Daughters of Africa (1992) and its sequel, New Daughters of Africa (2019), which seeded the Margaret Busby New Daughters of Africa Award to fund young women from Africa to study for a master’s degree in the UK.
