My Writing & Stories

Writing has always been a hobby that I've enjoyed. Some of my earliest memories as a child were writing notes for my parents or crafting meaningful poetry to gift to my loved ones. I am so grateful that I have the opportunity to study literature with an academic lens and have the freedom to critically analyze texts in thorough responses. My literary interests are quite vast, but my favorites are American poetry, American dramas, Christian nonfiction, and everything in-between. My writing has come a long way since I first transferred to Lee. I edited a critical analysis of Richard Wright's Native Son that I wrote for a U.S. Lit class and submitted it to the African American Review. While the paper was rejected, I count it a major feat to have gone through that process. While the chaotic nature of college life and a lack of time often prevent me from writing more, I really enjoy writing in my journal about the beauty of life, friendships, and how I see God at work in my life. Nostalgia is often on my mind and a key focus of my self reflection for where the Lord has brought me from or what He's brought me out of and where He is taking me next. I look forward to continue giving my thoughts and feelings a voice through the words on a page and the plausibility that they'll resonate with someone else.
