- New Jersey, United States
- I started this blog when I was junior at Yale. After graduation I moved to the South and spent several years working pre-emancipation hours as a tv reporter. I gave it all up in exchange for my sanity and to pursue my passion...writing. I've learned to not depend on things, people, or even jobs for your identity. My joy truly comes from within. And through it all, all these years later, I am still the same fly funky diva.
