One of the best things about technology is that it can help you find your niche, your community. You can find the information you want to find and listen to the voices you want to hear.

My social media experience is very brown and very female. On tumblr, I get photo after photo of beautiful girls with hair and skin like mine. On twitter, I connect with moms, and with women writers.

It’s so important for me to be able to exist in this parallel world. It’s where I get my mentors, my inspirations.
