ABOUT ME

17868084529784127.jpg

My name's Emma. I'm 19 years old and a third-year at the University of Virginia majoring in English and Youth & Social Innovation. I'm a columnist for our school newspaper, The Cavalier Daily and the Vice President for this year's Third Year Council. But that's enough of the formal introductions.

I love discovering new music, knitting my jumbled thoughts and feelings into words, and am constantly learning what it means to be an amplifier of the voices and stories of the underrepresented around me. I'm so glad that you've stumbled upon this site and that you're taking the time to check out my work. 

Stay awhile!

WHAT I'M READING

9780307386588.jpeg

I recently watched Toni Morrison's documentary, The Pieces I Am, and I was struck all over again by the amazingly talented, fiercely loved writer she was.

One of my resolutions for 2021 is to read all of Morrison's novels in the order she wrote them, starting with The Bluest Eye.

 

Beloved was my first exposure to Morrison's writing and I'll be the first to honestly say that her novels are difficult to read. It is not a matter of comprehending her expert diction, but that the things she reveals about me — about the human experience — are not usually things I want to recognize in myself. 

**I've also finished Normal People by Sally Rooney in the time since I've updated this section of my blog, but I highly recommend it! I couldn't have picked a better read to start off the year.
