Suma, I am so happy to find this response among all the Notifications I’ve seemed to have gotten lost in. Yes, I regained my voice and I can’t thank the people on this platform enough. These exchanges and dialogue have helped me dig deeper, express myself creatively, be vulnerable, and clarify what I want to say. Many publications I write for have cultivated a safe environment where I can share a story or idea without judgment or a troll.

I’m very grateful for it. And to connect with other writers who inspire me is something I can’t put into words.
