I always work with text orally in the writing process, saying passages aloud to measure flow.

I would love to see more dialogue around the "responsibilities" of art consumers - how can audiences better financially support artists we love, artists who are doing the work, so that artists have a more solid foundation upon which to make art?

If anything, I have witnessed the ways my art travels, or is rendered more accessible, when sanctioned by or connected to white artists.

I think white artists have a responsibility to be not only naming white supremacy, but to be using their power and privilege to support artists of color.

As a brown artist, I have mixed feelings about my relationship to art and my "responsibilities" post-Trump.

My interest in language is steadfast, but I think each project and its accompanying intentions dictate how language must be used.

I don't yet know what style will be required for my next novel, but my sense is that each book will involve a new relationship to language.
