MENTEE’S ANECDOTE: This year my mentor Linda and I have had multiple moments that together have made a wonderful and empowering experience. It has been amazing to explore the craft of writing just by reflecting on our everyday lives. I have not only found a mentor that challenges me as a writer, but who has also become a friend in whom I can confide. For me, our best moments have been when we sit in a café and just write because in that, I have been able to start my evening by getting everything off of my shoulders and just be.

MENTOR’S ANECDOTE: Soledad and I have spent a lot of time talking about politics and social issues, certainly in part because of the tumultuous year it has been in this country’s history. I really appreciate Soledad’s openness and thoughtfulness about issues of race and the nuances of race and class in our society. It has been wonderful to reflect on and discuss our experiences in this regard (as well as everything else)!
