As a writer, my preoccupation lies in wrestling with questions more than trying to find a specific answer to those questions. I’m interested in complexity, in nuance, in holding multiple truths alongside one another. In my work, part of what vulnerability looks like is presenting myself not as an expert on a given issue but as someone who is curious and trying to fill in the gaps of my own understanding. That way, I think, the reader feels as if they are on a journey alongside you, rather than being preached at.
