Who I Am
Not many people are lucky enough to know who they want to be in this world. And not everyone who knows what they want to do are lucky enough to actually be able to do it. And sometimes choosing to pursue what you want to do with your life, and choosing to do something “feesable” feels like choosing to jump off of a cliff or take the stairs. But when you truly know who you are and what you were meant to do, playing it safe isn’t an option. You have to take the leap.

My Next Book To Be Published - "Plague Invasion - Creative Writing Responses To Covid-19"
Back in April last year, I felt I had to do something, something about this awful virus that had invaded our lives, killing people, and forcing us to huddle up at home, keeping away from family who didn't live in the same home, and from our friends, as well as our work, for a great many people.

I Found A Black-Owned Bookstore:
In a new but familiar town I set sail on a quest for literary adventure. I was not disappointed. Google guided me to the treasure I sought, a black owned bookstore named Pyramid Art, Books and Custom Framing. I sat outside for 15 minutes before they opened as I concluded my phone therapy session, said a quick prayer, and set an intention for the day’s endeavor. This is for the bookstagram, I whispered to myself. I raised my iPhone to capture the scene before walking up the platform to the entrance. Three members of the staff grinned widely behind their masks. I could not see the mouths that greeted me, but the warm vibrations embraced me all the same. The lady who held the door for me introduced herself as Garbo. She was minute in stature with butterscotch colored skin and a cloud hued afro like a younger Nikki Giovanni. Garbo introduced the other employees and then began a soft inquiry about who sent me. I returned the banter like an Osaka serve—swift and on target. I let her know I wasn’t one of the infamous ‘them’ taking pictures to report to Big Brother.

Bad Romance
In the Spring term of 2020 at community college, I took a Shakespeare course where our final essay compared his plays to modern media. While reading Romeo and Juliet, I realized many media forms echo similar themes. I compared it to the Twilight Saga, focusing on the concepts of lust at first sight and love triangles. Years later, this essay made me reflect on romance tropes in young adult media that I find the most uneasy. This overarching theme, often coupled with an irresistible pull of forbidden love, often present a suffocating, toxic idea of love. It feels as if the media has prescribed a certain kind of love, a certain kind of passion that ought to exist between two individuals. With little romantic experience myself, I found it difficult to align these idealized versions with real-life interactions. But before I get into this tangent, I have little to no experience in relationships of any kind and this is my blind and bias opinion on most of the popular books, shows and movies that I have either skimmed through or never brought myself to indulge in during my informative teen years.

Wish Hunter by Hero Bowen & Jordan Riley Swan
This is the last book from my first lot of book review requests from Goodreads. I was quite flattered with this one because I was approached by the publisher who really liked my review of Fingersmith by Sarah Waters. So I was more than happy to have a look at this one and check it out because it sounded interesting. The cover looked amazing and when I put on my Goodreads that I was currently reading it, I had quite a few notifications to say that other readers liked the fact I was reading this. The book is set to be published and available for sale in June 2021 according to Goodreads.
