In 2022\, she performed with international Afrobeat star CKay in New York\, Miami\, Los Angeles and The Roots Picnic in Philadelphia. She also performed with Teri Lynne Carrington\, Patrice Rushen\, and Jazzmeia Horn\, as a Geri Allen Gathering Orchestra Fellow\, and appeared with the New York City Ballet.  \nREDWOOD’s multimedia piece on Black joy\, “Delight\,” won the Most Inspiring Performance Art Award at MSU’s 2021 Social Justice Festival.
