The Writer in Me

Because stories deserve to be told.
Because lessons are meant to be shared.
Because insight needs space to rise.
Because every voice — including my own — deserves to be heard.

I didn’t set out to be a writer. But one powerful film moment during 2020 sparked something in me. I realized that books can shape minds, movements, and even history. If a single book could lead to darkness, then surely a book could bring forth light.

That became my vow: I would write something to bring forth that light. And in giving myself permission to write — and call myself a writer — I uncovered a flood of creativity that had been patiently waiting to arrive.

Today, writing isn’t just something I do. It’s how I reflect, connect, and contribute.
