Shonteria G:

A few things that make my heart race, Dictionary.com’s Word of the Day notwithstanding, are as follows: creating content that matters and seeing that content in forgotten areas and on forgotten bodies. My words give life to things that have happened to people, and to people who have happened to things, too, and I develop space where there is none for stories and art to become religion for some and easement for others. I come from a long line of women rich in their heritage who believe in altruism and silence, but I believe in other things, and I think those things believe in me, too.
I like Jesus, vegan food, soy wax candles, fake plants, bunny blogs, gold jewelry, and reminding Maria Sharapova fans that Serena Williams still beat her while she was doped up.
