JACQUETTE M
Writer | Poet | Storyteller
ABOUT
I live in Durham, NC, perched on a drafting chair that’s too tall for my frame, sipping hazelnut cold brew as I weave stories of coming of age in a town marked by poverty and more dead ends than open doors. My writing navigates the complexities of survival and identity, delving into the intersections of race, class, and the raw truths of life in the Black rural South.
MY PURPOSE
My journey to writing began as a means of processing my own experiences, and it has since evolved into a mission to tell stories that resonate with those who see themselves reflected in my words. I grew up surrounded by the complexities of poverty and the resilience of the Black community. These experiences shape my writing, grounding it in the realities of marginalized voices. I believe in the power of storytelling to heal, inspire, and provoke change. It’s a way for me to connect with others who share similar struggles and to offer a voice to those who feel unheard.
CONNECT
I love connecting with readers, fellow writers, and anyone passionate about the themes I explore in my work. Whether you want to discuss a recent piece, collaborate on a project, or simply share your thoughts, I’m always open to a meaningful conversation.
