One of my biggest goals as a writer is to give voices to the overlooked and to explore the damages of the inequalities layered in the texture of our society. Refuge can always be found in the pages of books reminding us that we are not alone.

I have been talking about getting a new tattoo for years, and I'm so glad I finally did! This piece is in honor of my ongoing White Crow series and I'm planning on expanding the sleeve as I continue to publish.
