I was brought up to believe you should always live the most interesting life you can.

In the beginning of college I wanted to be an English major, but then I became interested in international relations.

The more I have written, the less it has been about exploring myself, and the more it has been about exploring the world around me.

I'm interested in illuminating the enormous disparity between vast poverty and the tiny upper class... This vast inequity is unfair by definition, and I am interested in illuminating that and, where possible, changing that.
