It's so Shakespearean in a way. You have everything a good fictional story would have— but it's real. Even if you don't like the players involved, I don't think any of us are above a good juicy revenge plot story.
I like to write about pop culture because I feel like it's important for black women to have our take on what's happening right now, and make sure that our feelings and our take and our opinions don't get erased. I always wanted to be into journalism because I always saw it as live history. What we write is what people will look back on and to cite what this time was like. And I wanted to be a part of that.
