[1] Minaya's artwork is inspired by her life experience growing up in the Dominican Republic, as well as living and navigating the United States.

[10] #dominicanwomengooglesearch (2016) was a hanging sculptural piece in which Minaya took images from the results of the Google Search "Dominican women", and edited them with Photoshop.

[11] Minaya also works with sculpture: Perteneciente (Belonging) (2013) contains two female busts, which are connected by a thick braid of hair.

[14] She created a commissioned installation for Prospect 6 in 2024 titled The Future Is Present, The Harbinger Is Home at the New Orleans African American Museum (NOAAM), in the historic Tremé neighbor.
