"Pleasing God and serving humanity are inseparable." -Imam Abdul-Rahman Yaki /// A writer, reader, singer and poet, Tess dreams of one day improving the world of communications with a red pen and an impeccable sense of when the word being used is the word that was intended. She also wants to improve the world of media for those it has not historically served- those who are not white, cisgender, abled, straight, Christian, or male. She plans to someday be based out of a house with a wraparound porch and a tree swing.
