Motivation for Writing

When I moved to Canada in 2010, my simple life became complicated. It was a shocking transition for my whole family. I traded in island life for anxiety, differences in cultural beliefs with peers, discrimination and social marginalization, navigating my culture and Canadian culture. It was a lot to handle. So I began pouring myself into my writing and slowly my experiences and imagination melted into the beginning of Come With the Fire. 

Come With the Fire is a relatable story for readers who understand the experience of living between old and new countries while exploring old and new identities.
