"People often say, 'write what you know.' For me, personal experience is often a rich place to start, but sometimes you don’t really know 'what you know' about the worlds within and around you until you start writing. I strive to write with a sense of curiosity, an appetite for discovery, and an open mind. Writing is a reckoning. It calls us to account for who we were, who we are, and who we can be—for what we knew, what we know, and most importantly, what we have the capacity to know." — Kiana
