Inspiration and Hope from N.K. Jemisin

Anyone who stumbles through here should click here. Yes, go ahead. Author N.K. Jemisin–who wrote the “Inheritance Trilogy” books–crafted a beautiful  essay. I won’t go into the details but to put simply, she writes about dreaming and succeeding when people want to pull you down and kick you in the ribs. She writes about finding your history, the myths of your people and using those stories of courage and plucky ambition to take on and conquer the world. Stop reading this and read Ms. Jemisin’s essay. I was moved and inspired. Right now I’m going to place her books higher in my to-read queue. Cheers!
