I asked the community earlier this year, why do you write? After months of ongoing submissions answering the question it's safe to say Black authors are the reason our culture will not be silenced.
Being vulnerable with a narcissist or people who refuse to emphasize with you does something to your spirit and concept of who you are. And we bring that to our writing. We fear our writings like we fear those people. Am I good enough? Should never be a question a writer ask themselves. If you wrote it and it’s authentic then it’s good.
One of the things i’m slowly learning about our community is that our ways of growing up can be so different and still similar in nature. Just like Ashley, i grew up in my own world and that alone altered how I communicated and connected to others.
