🔥Ink That Disrupts: Why Writing Is My Protest
Ink That Disrupts: Why my writing is both a protest and a promise to never play small.

They say the pen is mightier than the sword—but for me, the pen is the flame. And every time I write, I’m burning through silence, ignorance, and erasure.
As a Black, queer, intersex woman, my existence alone challenges the status quo. But my writing? That’s my declaration of war against invisibility. Every sentence is a disruption. Every story is an uprising. And every blog, book, and broadcast I create is another act of resistance.
Too often, we're told to "keep it professional," which really means "keep it palatable." But I don’t write to be digestible. I write to be undeniable. I write to make space for the stories that crack foundations and force uncomfortable truths into the light.
This isn’t about rage without reason—it’s about purpose with fire behind it.
My protest doesn’t wear a placard.
It wears paragraphs.
It holds receipts.
It reclaims the narrative.
So no, I won’t soften the blow. I’ll sharpen the pen.
Because stories shape culture. And when you control the narrative, you control the future.
Welcome to the revolution. It’s written in ink.
