In CONVERSATION with the PLAYWRIGHT
"My mission for writing is always the same, and that is to be a Pointer OF HOPE. What I hateful by that is, no matter the class, the story, or topic I write about, I always desire my piece of work to be the NEON BLINKING SIGN in the darkness maxim, 'promise this way.'
My goal with THE Calorie-free is no different. I hope that it PROVOKES CONVERSATIONS around SEXUAL VIOLENCE, and why VICTIMS OF COLOR are so often left on the periphery of those conversations. And what we tin can do as a COMMUNITY to improve UPLIFT and SUPPORT those victims.
I hope it sparks non simply conversation only Activeness, about how men in detail can be better support systems to the women in their lives. "
