Here are some of my latest clips: Screen Shot 2015-05-21 at 10.30.05 PM My goal was to culture jam in such a way that young people who had MTV on their radar would also know about #SayHerName if they didn't already, as well as find out about the Black Girls Lead conference. Nailed it.   Screen Shot 2015-05-21 at 10.31.37 PM My amazing editor Shana asked me to write about this topic and I was able to include - along with celebrities who don't necessarily need more fame - some amazing activists who inspire me every day. Nailed it.   Screen Shot 2015-05-21 at 10.36.54 PM   I don't know about you, but I love Lucy Lawless and vampires in equal measure. I got to preview the "Salem" trailer and go full fangirl. Nailed it. This post is a promise to myself that since I apparently have time to write for pay, I'm going to (gasp!) start blogging on The Lair every day, no matter what. I think I've attempted to do this a few times since 2007, but paid work and life have always been obstacles. Despite my legitimate excuses for not writing consistently, I'm going to start taking advantage of this website I pay for and share more of my own creative writing with the world. Wish me luck.
