She debuted the role of "Eve" in A Day in the Life, and remains a fierce advocate for the StopSlut and GenerationFree movements.

As a transnational adoptee, activist, and advocate, Darci's dedication to examining the relationship between gender, race, and policy is driven by her personal experiences stemming from China’s One Child Policy. Through working with communities, human rights organizations, lawyers, and politicians, Darci has fought to build spaces to elevate and empower individual voices impacted by domestic violence, commercial sexual exploitation, and related forms of gender-based discrimination, with special attention to women, girls, and communities of color.

As an aspiring lawyer, Darci has worked for the Domestic Violence Bureau a the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office, the Coalition Against Trafficking for Women, Sanctuary for Families, and Equality Now- advocating alongside victims and survivors for the passing of the Child Sex Trafficking Bill (A62823b) and SESTA/FOSTA. Named one of New York's Top 50 New Abolitionists in 2014, Darci has spoken out against sexual exploitation at the United Nations, the National Summit on Human Trafficking and the State Courts, and at various events centering the rights of women, girls, and femmes.
