In 2013, Huxtable participated in the House of Ladosha's show Whole House Eats at Superchief Gallery.[2]

Huxtable regularly integrates her poetry into DJ mixes and has also has recorded poetics on the song "Blood Oranges" from the Le1f mixtape Tree House. Her poetry was included in the runway soundtrack for the Hood by Air Fall/Winter fashion show "10,000 screaming fagots" by Total Freedom.[3]

In her photography, Huxtable uses her own body as the primary subject. She draws from a broad range of references including the Nuwaubian movement.[4]

In 2014, Huxtable was featured on the fifth anniversary cover of C☆NDY magazine along with 13 other transgender women – Janet Mock, Carmen Carrera, Geena Rocero, Isis King, Gisele Alicea, Leyna Ramous, Dina Marie, Nina Poon, Yasmine Petty, Niki M'nray, Pêche Di, Carmen Xtravaganza and Laverne Cox.[5] Huxtable modeled for DKNY, Eckhaus Latta, and BCALLA for their Fall/Winter 2014 collections, and Chromat for their Fall/Winter 2015 collection.

In August 2014, Huxtable performed in the video for the Hercules and Love Affair song "My Offence" (2014). The video features excerpts of conversation with figures from the New York City gay scene like Honey Dijon, Huxtable, and Contessa Stuto. The band's primary member, Andrew Butler, described the song and its video as an examination of his "relationship to taboo words and the use of 'cunt' amongst NYC's gay community to relay flattery, empowerment and strength".[6] Huxtable also is in the music videos Invitation to a Beheading, "Seducing The Beast" (2012) and New No Bra, Candy (2013). Huxtable sings on the Le1f mixtape Tree House, on the song "Blood Oranges".

Huxtable was on the Season Two premiere of Ovation TV's web-based talk show, Touching the Art, hosted by Casey Jane Ellison with panelists K8 Hardy, and Shelley Fox Aarons.[7] Huxtable also participated in The What's Underneath Project.[8]

In 2015 Huxtable was both the author and subject of 5 works included in the 2015 New Museum Triennial, curated by New Museum curator Lauren Cornell and artist Ryan Trecartin.[9][10] In Vogue Magazine's feature on the exhibition, writer Mark Guiducci dubs Huxtable the "Star of the New Museum Triennial".[11] The museum featured four of the artists' inkjet prints and a to-scale 3D sculpture of Huxtable by fellow Triennial artist Frank Benson.[12]

In 2015 Huxtable premiered her multi-media performance There Are Certain Facts That Cannot Be Disputed (2015)[13] for the Performa 15 biennial at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Described by the festival's organizers, Huxtable's performance considered "cyberspace as a twilight zone of precariousness and preservation, traversing closed servers, bounced URLs, and Google cache as human and digital characters".[14]
