Funny story, I started working on the first draft of the essay that eventually became “Who Would I Be Without the Violence?” back in 2018. It’s gone through so many edits and iterations that it hardly resembles that early draft at all, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!

The essay––a quick, flash creative nonfiction piece––was just published in Consequence Forum alongside some other talented writers. I’d love it if you gave it a read!
