Her writing and research studies are centered on her interest in race relations and narrative transformation in the racial manifestation of "Post-Blackness". She is now researching young female artists from the African Diaspora who are not confined to the United States, as well as how their internal racial perspective informs their work and speaks to the context of racial understanding in their own communities. ”.

One of Moreira’s notable achievements lies in her commitment to amplifying the voices of marginalized artists through her podcast, The Curatorial Blonde. Through her curatorial conversations, she has provided a platform for artists of diverse backgrounds, foregrounding their stories and perspectives in a field often dominated by Eurocentric frameworks. Her curatorial vision extends beyond mere representation, seeking to dismantle systemic barriers and foster greater equity and access within the art ecosystem.
