Blasphemy Darling
I’m a mixed-race Bisexual non-binary person from Surrey, British Columbia Canada. I’m 39 years old, and almost 22 years ago my abuser promised that for my 40th birthday, he’d be back to do it again. I was taught by teachers, doctors, and even friends and allies to believe that it either didn’t happen and that…

Why Is Your Voice The Only One Anyone Hears?
I built this website so that I could share my voice with the world, without being afraid of what the world was going to respond with. I deliberately chose to put my story out there, so that people would understand me, and what kills me is so many who claim to know me really don’t.…

One of my favorite people of all time is Kern Carter. Not only is he an amazing friend, but he’s also the kind of writer that wants to lift up as many other creatives as he can, while he is on his own journey. He’s a very special soul and today he held a workshop…

Remember The “Why” Of Your Choices, Are Going to Change
Nope. When I started this website it wasn’t about you, the reader. It was about me getting my story out so I didn’t die. It was my way of making sure that my life mattered, it was my way of saying my life matters too. I got this mindset from my friend Doctor, Ashley Perkins,…

In Case of My Death…Burn The World Down: Let’s Write A New Book!
One of my favorite writers of all time is Anne Frank. Not because of her words, but because when the world was in a form of chaos she did the only thing she knew how and she wrote about it so that we’d never forget. That’s the purpose of writing. It’s a way to communicate…

@SavvyWroteThat is Savannah Worley
Savvy is one of my dearest friends. We met a few years ago, right before the pandemic when she followed me on Twitter, but she worked hard to get my attention. At different times we joined Writers and Editors of Color, and through that amazing group of writers, we found and forged a friendship of…

The Hardness of the Soft, #WomensHistoryMonth
It’s really hard being a girl. Can we stop and acknowledge that? I’m a girl, and although I’m trying my best to be seen as non-binary, 40 years on this earth has made it difficult for those who think they know me, to be able to see me as non-binary, so I reiterate, being a…
