Webber entered the art, poetry, and performance scene in
New York City during the 1980s, where she displayed her first works in galleries in New York and
San Francisco. In 1989, she published her first poetry collection
Diaspora. In that same year, Webber also contributed work to
Serious Pleasure, a lesbian erotica anthology published by
Sheba Feminist Press in
London, England. In 2007, Webber established Voices Rising: Northwest LGBTQ Artists of Color to create a safe, welcoming, nurturing community of
LGBTQ artists of color in Seattle to brainstorm, create, perform, and raise awareness of marginalization and systems of oppression in the larger society. The community maintains an active Facebook page to promote its events and related news articles. Webber has received recognition for her multimedia works
Blues Divine (2014) and
Noirish Lesbiana (2014).
Blues Divine is an ancestral mix tape which combines a book of poetry with an audiobook read by Webber. Her museum exhibit
Casino: A Palimpsest (2017) combines archival photographs and storytelling with an art installation to record the history of
The Casino, one of the oldest
gay bars on the
West Coast, as told and experienced by her family. These performances have earned acclaim in England, the Netherlands, and Germany. She has also been highlighted in documentaries including
Venus Boyz,
Hope in My Heart:
The May Ayim Story, ''What's Right with Gays These Days?, (Living Two Spirit)'', and international performance tours. Webber currently teaches creative writing at the
University of Washington. == Publications ==
