I love writing. Of all the subjects I struggled with in school, writing always came naturally to me. My penmanship was atrocious, my spelling was phonetic, and despite being a delayed reader, I’ve always had the gift for gab, both written and orally.
It wasn’t until my early 20s that I became more serious with my writing, first through personal journals, then research papers, and eventually led to my current writings which include essays, op-eds, poetry, and policy proposals.
Here you will find a collection of some of my writings.
I write as a form of self-care, of unpacking all the ideas and thoughts in my mind and sharing ideas I believe can improve our world.
