I chose to write about a different female TV character each day, as a sort of prompt so I wouldn't have trouble coming up with ideas for poems. I recently pulled the manuscript out for editing and saw several race and feminist threads that helped the book develop beyond its original prompt into a fleshed out, multi-dimensional work. It's a fun, nostalgic read, but it also thematically addresses important topics surrounding race and girlhood and womanhood.(less)

Trevor Noah
“People love to say, “Give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he’ll eat for a lifetime.” What they don’t say is, “And it would be nice if you gave him a fishing rod.” That’s the part of the analogy that’s missing.”
