Shenequa’s articles and interviews (written and on-camera) have appeared in prominent Black publications such as Vibe and Essence as well as mainstream outlets like Complex and Vanity Fair in which she was commissioned by a Los Angeles-based agency to explore some of the themes in Steve McQueen’s anthology, Small Axe.
