Made semifinalist for @ScriptPipeline !! This story is so special to me. I wanted to find a way to respect black service men and women, like my great grandfather and grandmother who served a country with everything they had without equal rights.

I’m Black. So I am a Black writer whether I identify as such or not. My work could indicate that I can write everything. I am still a Black writer. That doesn’t lessen the quality of my work nor who I am as a writer. If it prevents opportunities, that’s a failure of the system.
