Novels Allow Me To Create A Whole

I'm A Firm Believer That Language And How We Use Language Determines How We Act, And How We Act Then Determines Our Lives And Other People's Lives.

I've Never Thought Of Leaving The South, Never.

Novels Allow Me To Create A Whole World.

I Write For Young Girls Of Color, For Girls Who Don’t Even Exist Yet, So That There Is Something There For Them When They Arrive. I Can Only Change How They Live, Not How They Think.

Creation Is Everything You Do. Make Something.
