Artist‘s Statement
This year has certainly been a whirlwind of emotions and creativity. Both things can be quite messy but through Girls Write Now, this year, I was able to hone my skill of creativity in writing. I have grown so much and learned so many new things about myself. Prior to this program, I always had hopes that I can just find the time to just write everything that I was feeling down, somewhere. My submission was my outlet for this and completely freed up so many internal worries and anxieties.
