What a beautiful tribute. This: "Tata the profound, a woman who exhibits the density of meaning, yet makes me my coffee and watches me sip it so that she can rinse the cup once I’m done."

First of all, congratulations on being accepted into an MFA program at Columbia!!!

I understand the impostor syndrome that comes with pushing yourself forward while looking back at who and what it took to bring you to that point. You are doing great work by making the effort to hone your craft in mastering your voice. Through you, they also speak, and it's a beautiful thing.

I love your writing, your brain, and you. " I don’t know why I have something she never stood a chance for" is the story of the women in my family over and over again. Thank you for your words and your work, always.
