Part 2 – Because of Them 🏳️‍🌈
This is why I launched this series.
A Yale-shirted creator saying “f the USA”? Not protest—privilege.
Millions died so people could say even that.
Is it disrespectful—or just performative?

Because of Them, I Roar: A Mini Round-Up of Books That Re-lit My Creative Fire There are moments in every writer’s life where the fire dims. Where doubt takes up more space than imagination. I’ve been there more times than I can count—especially when telling stories rooted in identity, culture, and emotional truths that don’t always fit into mainstream boxes. But then I pick up that book. The kind that makes you sit up straighter. That whispers, “You belong here too.”

These books didn’t just inspire me—they validated me.
They said: Your voice matters. Your stories belong.
I’m not the first to write like this.
But thanks to the ones who were,
I’m not afraid to roar.
