She penned the foreword for the 2015 anniversary of Michele Wallace's "Black Macho and the Myth of the Superwoman" and the 2017 re-release of Ann Petry’s "Miss Muriel and Other Stories." Lemieux's first book, "She Bad: Tales of Love, Hate, and Baby Motherhood" will be released in 2024.

Currently, she pens a weekly advice column for Slate's "Care and Feeding" parenting section and is a co-host for the publication's "Mom and Dad Are Fighting" podcast.

After years of calling for accountability for the famed R&B singer known for his mistreatment of underage girls and women, she was prominently featured in Lifetime’s critically acclaimed docuseries, "Surviving R. Kelly" and "Surviving R. Kelly 2: The Reckoning." She also appeared in A&E's "Secrets of Playboy."

Lemieux served as the Vice President of News and Men’s Programming for iOne Digital, where she helped spearhead the creation of CASSIUS, a progressive digital lifestyle platform. Prior to that, she worked as the Senior Editor for EBONY magazine, where she played a key role in launching the publication’s website in 2012 and modernizing the brand voice and identity.
