I Believe That Representation Matters
When we see people like us on screen and on the page, all those feelings of being an outsider fade away, if only for a brief moment, and we feel connected.
As a woman, a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, and as a disabled person, I know how much we can struggle with identity and feeling like we don't belong. It is my goal as a writer to try and be more inclusive, not only of the groups I associate with, but with the world and all those in it.
I'm not saying I'll be perfect. No one is. I recognize that I have much to learn as I continuously work on this lifelong goal, and I am eager to do it!
