It’s an absolute dream to be published in @snatchmagazine Issue 1 alongside so many gifted kindred spirits. I started this year with a strong desire to share more of my work, and seeing my name in print in this gorgeous, thoughtfully crafted magazine has me overflowing with gratitude.

Thank you to @snatchmagazine for your confidence in my writing, your helpful editorial guidance, and all the work that went into this inaugural issue. I’m so excited to watch this magazine grow.

The story I submitted is one of romantic friendship, of fandom and travel. I could not have written it without @kirbucci, @dtotheq, @dodge_intrepid, and my beloved women’s sports crew. I may not have written it at all without @deenanyer giving me a platform and inspiration to tell it. I definitely couldn’t have written it without the 🐐herself (@sbird10). And shoutout to my fellow Clevelander and friend @vueelise for her wonderful work featured in this issue!

Thanks to everybody who’s supported and pushed me to write more this year. I’m so lucky to have you on my roster. I love y’all.
