It took me over 36 years to finally call myself that. Years of grappling with imposter syndrome, comparative concessions, and inner saboteurs. So, for me, believing I have a voice and believing I have words to share is the greatest accomplishment I can list here. Forget the things that tend to define us.
I love writing simply for the sake of it, regardless of credit or prestige. I gladly give my words away. Because, even an undercover spark can begin surprising fires.
