Equipped with experiences aplenty, material rich content often make it into her novellas...a unique remix of chick- lit with edge and homage to the first era of rave. RaveLit. A compelling new voice emerging in British fiction, Jaqi's narratives suffused with humour, sex, extraordinary happenings and maverick characters make them infuriating as they are endearing. There’s also more than a hint of nostalgia for a time that will mean a great deal to middle aged readers and musical persuasion - a penchant for house music.
An accomplished poet and spoken word artist, Jaqi has self-published four chap books, followed by three novellas in her DJ Series published by MT Ink.
Over the last few years unprecedented events has re-shaped her mindset and influenced her new work which has taken on a socio-economic, geo-political activist tone. A thread that runs through her work generally, but a concerted effort driven by a sense of responsibility. Grenfell Tower, Windrush, BLM, Trumpism and the onset of the Pandemic makes a polemic necessary. She has an anthology currently in development, spokenword, auto-fiction, flash fiction, short stories and prose exploring identity, her West Indian heritage juxtaposed with British values, diversity and the lack thereof. Less under represented voice more overlooked rebel yell.
