📚 Publications & Scholarly Contributions

As a doctoral student, I see my publishing journey as a work in progress, one where I am learning, experimenting, and steadily building my scholarly voice. Engaging with the academic world, and learning from the guidance of my academic advisor, mentors, and peers, has given me opportunities to contribute to books, encyclopedia entries, and practitioner briefs, while also teaching me the rigor and patience required for academic publishing. Alongside this, I continue to nurture my love for free writing, often reflecting on the realities of Mozambique, critiquing challenges, and offering recommendations for pathways forward.

Through these opportunities, I have contributed to collaborative works such as practitioner briefs, including co-leading the development of a brief aimed at improving policies and practices for multilingual learners with disabilities in Tucson Unified School District.

 

I am also involved as an active member and facilitator in the Global South Disability Studies Collective, where I contribute to collaborative scholarship and inclusive methodologies.

​

At the same time, I continue to write for broader audiences. I contribute regularly to Jornal Notícias, one of Mozambique’s most widely read and trusted national newspapers, valued by government officials and decision-makers but also distributed to remote areas—making it an important channel for reaching diverse communities. I also serve as an editor and guest writer for Masoko, a Mozambican community newspaper, where I promote access to information and create platforms for dialogue on social issues.

​

Alongside print and community media, I extend my publications into digital spaces. Through my YouTube channel, I share Inclusive Voices in Action podcast episodes, interviews, and educational videos. These efforts focus on disability rights, inclusive education, and opportunities for youth, making my advocacy accessible to both national and global audiences. In all of these contributions, I see myself not as an expert but as a scholar and advocate in progress, learning from each step while working toward building a body of work that influences dialogue, challenges stereotypes, and promotes inclusion.
