Caitlin is a mentee with a love for poetry, arts and crafts, and puns. She can often be found geeking out about science with her friends, writing spontaneous songs, or reading by a window. She spent last summer studying slam poetry with Urban Word, and she’s soon going to return as a counselor at her book club camp. Above all, she’s immensely grateful for the Girls Write Now community.
Artist‘s Statement
One of my favorite quotes is from the writer Akwaeke Emezi: “Understand this if you understand nothing: it is a powerful thing to be seen.” I write because I know there’s a possibility that someone, even if just one person, will feel seen by it.
