“Sometimes you’ve got to let everything go - purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything… whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you’ll find that when you’re free, your true creativity, your true self comes out.” – Tina Turner

Relatable

Yes. Reading excessively as a child for a lot of us was a form of escapism. But part of the reason so many of us struggle to read now is because we based our entire taste in reading on what helped us escape, but as we get older and our needs changed, a lot of us never adapted our reading tastes. So we keep trying to read YA fiction and it just doesn’t hit the way it used to and we assume it’s because we can’t read like we used to, but the reality is that we need a new genre of liturature to suit our new life experiences and mature taste.

Fanfiction. The answer is fanfiction.

I found trying genres or authors I wouldn’t normally reach for has been a gift

Yes! This! Fanfic is where I’ve landed in adulthood. I used to read mystery novels as a child and a lot of spooky/witchy stuff. I was always drawn to magic or super powers of some kind.

The Gullah Geechee community, found largely on the Atlantic Coast, from North Carolina to Northern Florida, is one of the most unique communities in the United States. Its language, practices and beliefs, foodways and people have had a major impact on American culture. The community is designated as the only National Cultural Heritage District in the country. It's also the place I call home!

Some of us might not have known her as Debbie Reynolds, the award-winning actress, dancer, singer, and humanitarian. Or as the beautiful Carrie Fisher’s mother. But for millions of us growing up as children, she was Aggie Cromwell, the witty, magical grandma we all wished we had. Although we know she’s more than a former character on Disney Channel, she affected the childhoods of many, including my own, teaching us life lessons that we carried with us into adulthood.

Thank you, Debbie Reynolds. May you be at peace with Carrie. We’re going to desperately miss you both.
