MY WRITING
In my writing, I aim to engage in courageous conversations, shed light on injustices, and empower marginalized communities. I am dedicated to bringing attention to topics that are often overlooked or disregarded by mainstream media. Additionally, my goal is to tackle these issues in a way that highlights the perspectives of those who are disenfranchised and/or voiceless, often necessitating a challenge to prevailing narratives.

Sticks, not carrots, needed to achieve meaningful change.
A unified, non-racial approach to blood donation would avoid further marginalization of Black people and promote a culture of inclusiveness rather than separation.
My experiences — of not fitting into society’s boxes, racism and injustice —have shaped who I am, my worldview, my writing and my career.
"Making racial bias unmentionable is its own oppression; it is merely another form of social control of Black people in the contemporary world."
"In its various forms, the 'Jim Crow mindset' helps to fuel the pathetic lack of progress — year after year, decade after decade, century after century."
"Statements from Terrence Woods’ father (Terrence Woods Sr.) and the local Idaho police indicate that Woods faced significant hostility from co-workers during his ill-fated [TV] assignment."
