My Writing Style
In reference to all of my written works: I know AP, Chicago, MLA, etc. grammar, punctuation and spelling rules. When I choose to break them, it is an artistic choice. I use words on the page to express emotions and ideas not only through their meanings and sentence structure, but also visually. My aim is to subtly engage my reader not only intellectually, but also emotionally.

101st Anniversary of the Tulsa Massacre

Thank you!

Most black people, iconic figures and regular folks alike, challenged discrimination by striving to live their best lives. During a time that I think has been mistakenly called “the nadir of black history,” they overcame obstacles, setbacks and sought justice with determination and grit.…
