Life Partners in Writing: How Two Women of Color Found their Writing Spouses
Every so often, someone enters your life as a fellow writer—and stays as kin.That’s Elmaz Abinader for me.In the latest issue of About Place Journal, I had the joy of co-authoring a piece titled “Life Partners in Writing: How Two Women of Color Found their Writing Spouses” with my dear friend and longtime creative collaborator, Elmaz. Featured in the “Careful/Care-Full Collaboration” issue, the essay reflects on our decades of creative camaraderie—from teaching at VONA to co-hosting salons and crafting spaces where women of color can be.If you're building a writing life, I hope you find your Elmaz. Someone who shows up. Listens deeply. Reminds you you’re not alone in the story.
