Take It From Your Own

I Used To See A Lot Of Cocaine. There Were Journalists Who Used Cocaine And Didn't Write About It And I Didn't Write About It. I Would Never Do Drugs, So I Would Always Get The Same Response From People: "smart Kid, More For Me." Whether It Was A Joke Or Sincere Or Both, But I Was Just Happy Not To Be In There Partying With The Band Like Some Of These Other Journalists.

People Dance And We Have A Lot Of Music And... This Might Be The Closet I Get For A While.

The Power Of Music Is Still With Me, Every Day. It's One Of The Most Inspiring Things Available In The World.

Sometimes Things You Write Are Messages To Yourself. Even Though I Think My Stuff Has A Particular Voice Because You Are Who You Are, It's Good To Switch It Up, Professionally And Personally. The Dare To Be Great Situation Is Always Going To Be The One That Matters The Most.

So Many Of Us Are Hungry For Stories With More Racial Diversity, More Truth In Representation, And I Am Anxious To Help Tell Those Stories In The Future.
