On May 27, 2016, McDonald presented his paper, "''Relatively Conscious: the Enduring Rage of Baldwin and the Education of a White Southern Baptist Queer''," as well as chaired a panel discussion entitled "''Baldwin's Rage and Ethics''" at the annual International James Baldwin Conference in Paris, France. The paper was subsequently published in volume 2 of the ''James Baldwin Review''.
In February 2018, McDonald's play, ''Relatively Conscious'', premiered at the New York Theater Festival in New York City. Described as historical fiction, the play centers around the brutal murder of James Byrd Jr., and includes a character resembling McDonald who also resigns as campaign manager from a fictitious congressional campaign.
McDonald is currently pursuing a Master of Fine Arts degree from Columbia University. Provided by Wikipedia
