Award winning children's book author, public speaker and disability activist. I champion misfits, underdogs and that weird kid nobody wanted to sit next to at lunch. (Spoiler alert: I qualify as all of the above.)

My oldest sister is schizophrenic. She’s often not taking her meds. She left a voicemail earlier and must be having a bad day. So I did what any creative person would - I made art.

A blackout poem called screenshot of my sister’s mind. Text reads: from no reply water spinning around. a reggae dreadlocked person goes to hell. still, I am a thin person in a heavy metal bathtub. What do I do? I can’t remember. old and unknown, earthy, delicious. thank you for erasing.
