@pwheeler_agent I used the name of Harriet Tubman’s adopted daughter, Gertie and a variation of my great grandmother’s name, Maggie. They live in my words.

being a writer doesn’t necessarily mean you write, it just means you don’t know how to do math

@DailyLoud This is a real champion.

@lithub @thaozer I used to sew—one of 4 girls in a family of seven. Once in awhile I make something because it soothes the teenage girl deep within me.

I was rejected this week for a thing I really wanted. And it really stings.

But I'm posting this to let people know that rejection is part of the life of being a writer. And that it happens even to folks with a long career.

It's OK to be sad. Then: You get back to work.

@QueensMFA short story: Left Behind
Honorable Mention in Jacobs/Jones African America Literary Prize. Gabriel Bump wrote, "A beautiful story about abandonment and hope. The sentences are alive with touch, smells, love and pain. A wonderful experience."
