I think being an African American woman has affected my writing tremendously. One reason, people in today’s society don’t think we are capable of accomplishing many things like them and especially being a black woman really gives the world a reason to look down on me. Another reason I think being black has affected my writing is how some of us carry ourselves as women. People might think we don’t have the same knowledge and view on things because we are black. I can connect with 1000BlackGirlBooks because growing up I attended a predominately white school, I was looked down on because I didn’t have the same skin color, but I knew I could share the same knowledge as the other kids
