“Sometimes who you were came down to the small things.”

Brit Bennett,The Vanishing Half

All throughout my life, I’ve had teachers tell me that I should consider writing as a career. My best friends tell me frequently that I should write a book about my life adventures. Even my Hooyo (mother) always jokes that one day I’m going to publish a memoir about our “crazy family shenanigans.”

At the end of the day, everyone around me will tell you the same thing: If nothing else, I can bring any story to life.
