Abioto\u2019s publication \u200bBlack Portlands \u200bdocuments interviews with Black Portlanders alongside her photographs. \u200bShe was a contributing photographer to \u200bMFON: Women Photographers of the African Diaspora\u200b (2017) and her photographs illustrated the Urban League of Portland\u2019s \u200bState of Black Oregon 2015\u200b.
