    The story of Morgan

    This is the story of Morgan - a depressed black 17-year-old triumphantly figuring out her identity. Loosely based on her own teenage life and diaries, ’s is an outstanding debut, full of courage, generosity and reason to live.

    This is indeed all my shit! I’m only human so I think about sex a lot too. Mostly, I’m probably writing in my head, and I’m sorry for that weird faraway look I carry around when I’m supposed to be socializing. Also contrary to popular belief I am fond of Nate Marshall

    Sometimes I play a game called what’s on Morgan’s mind and it makes me happy thinking that she might be reflecting on Ishmael Reed, Foucault, wine, blazers, Mary Janes, penny loafers, hair grease...

    I don't think people get how hard writers work for years, not just on the book itself, but on living their lives, observing, processing, and they get one shot at putting their book out there after all that time.
