She has been featured by Bronx Museum of Arts, People En Espanol Magazine, and became a 2020 recipient of the Define American Immigrant Artist Fellowship.

In December 2019, Danyeli self-published her first collection of poetry, periodocos de ayer, a lover's archive. In addition, she is also the co-founder and co-host of loose accents, a Latinx podcast that highlights the immigrant experiences of the East and West coast.
