It is deeply unfair to task writers of color with unique responsibilities that we don't assign to all writers.

I don't read the comments anymore, unless they are moderated. Which is not to say censored, but I don't need to read someone saying, "You're ugly."

What is it like to be connected to someone you can never get away from, for better or worse? I love trying to answer that question.

I write for myself, first and foremost and I also write for people, mostly women, who just want to be seen and heard and all too often aren't.

Violence is a common part of far too many women's lives.

Oftentimes, when a woman demands accountability, respect, or consideration, she is crazy or nagging or whatever.

With my writing, I generally just pretend that no one's reading it. I allow myself that delusion so that I can write the things that I write.
