Esther

Writer

United Kingdom

I am to be found always reading (novels, zines, theses) and always writing (free writing, journalistic, poetic, and stand-up comedy). Inspiration is drawn from popular culture, personal experience, and music.
Not a day goes by where I do not listen to a composition of some kind. I also enjoy many a television series and cinematic experiences.
I am very concerned with the representation of minority groups in mainstream media. Whenever I have to fill out a form, I tick the, 'female', ‘Black British’ and ‘African/Caribbean’ boxes. I would like to display that I, and others like me, are more than box-tickers; we are more than your preconceived notions on what black youths get up to. I hope to effect change through my work.
