This is a pic of my rejection letter from the New Yorker! I sent some work about the black American struggle and got rejected from a few places. What I learned is people really hate hearing authentic experiences and instead want the sanitized “I’m so thankful now” version. F*** that! I’ll make my own newspaper. I want people to see that things don’t happen overnight, and the struggle is real. Why doubt yourself, that’s what everyone else is for. Joga Bonita ✊🏽
