I grew up in the Black church and left through the texts — not through church hurt or disappointment, but by reading too closely for too long. That reading cost me relationships and rearranged the way I see almost everything.
after the asterisk started with faith, but faith was never the whole subject. It was just the first shelter I happened to be standing in.
Now I write close reads of the stories we live inside: Bible stories, national myths, family scripts, institutional language, current events, and the sentences people use when they need to stay innocent.
No publishing schedule. I write when I have something to say.
If you’re new, start with how i lost my faith.
Thank you for being here.
