I don't want the success to go away. I don't want it to seem unearned.

I am human. I am messy. I'm not trying to be an example. I am not trying to be perfect. I am not trying to say I have all the answers. I am not trying to say I'm right. I am just trying - trying to support what I believe in, trying to do some good in this world, trying to make some noise with my writing while also being myself.

Diversity in literature is, in part, about representation - who is telling the stories and who stories are told about.

Violence is not the answer but neither is peace.

When you look past the image, a celebrity is merely a person you know nothing about.

So often feminism is built up as this thing where you have to be perfect. You have to be consistent and you can't ever deviate. That's just not realistic.
