Thanks for checking out my writing! I started this page in the days after classes were shut down due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. What became a silly project to jot some thoughts down turned into a matured passion for wanting to tell stories. Through this journey, I've been inspired by writers like Salman Rushdie, William Faulkner, and Virginia Woolf as much as I have other artists like Prince, Mobb Deep and Caravaggio. Their artistry has heavily inspired me to want to hone my creative skills. 

 

 I use this website to try and challenge myself to become a better writer. I tell myself one thing as I write: "I'm not very good now, but I hope to be in ten years." This website is a reflection of that – its an opportunity to see how my writing has developed and grown over time. 

​

There's a great quote from Marcel Proust, which I will butcher here, but it goes something to the effect of "true genius is the ability to reflect, accurately, the world around you." Well I'm no Proust but I do want to use this space to show what I'm seeing in others. From DC, to Brixton, to Kolkata, I'm excited to document the world, curves and bends in tact. 

​

But above all, this space is for community. No writer works in isolation and I'm more interested in sharing stories that highlight our common bond as people.
