The other day, I saw a blog post where a woman wrote about why she was unfollowing me and that made me feel incredibly self-conscious and embarrassed about my tweets. I also feel more exposed now that I've become a more visible writer but then I try to get over all that and just use Twitter the way I want.

You have to be consistent. You have to be yourself. You have to be committed to what you're doing. You have to not be afraid to be ambitious.

I can't please everyone. I am trying not to let the pressure consume me.

People of color are not under any kind of obligation beyond working hard, doing their best, and learning from their mistakes.

Violence is not the answer but neither is peace.

I live in the middle of nowhere and I'm an insomniac. I just make the time and I read and write really fast so that makes a lot possible for me. I wish I had an explanation for it. I'm grateful for it.

I would rather be a bad feminist than no feminist at all.
