Hiiiiii guys!! While you all are here. My name is Brehanna Daniels. I made history by becoming NASCAR’s first black woman tire changer and pit crew member. I released my first two jerseys of my clothing line! Here’s my black “Trailblazer” one. A simple RT could go a long way🙏🏾🙏🏾

The em dash agenda, the complex sentences agenda, the thoughtful, witty, and vivid prose. Oh these are MY sort of writers.

Nowadays editors chop, chop, chop into synthetic, clinical sentences that have no character or drama.

According to the findings, 60.9% of Black women say they wear their natural hair all the time, and 79.5% feel very confident doing so in public, even on a first date. No stress, just showing up as we are.

Idk what editor told me this back when I first started writing but, they essentially said:

"You tell the reader what to care about, they don't tell you what to care about"

And sometimes, I think writers/publications forget that for a variety of reasons. But it shows everytime..
