Name Me Thunder
Dedication For the ones who look in mirrors and flinch, but stay. For the hands that bind, the voices that stutter, the bodies that linger too long in shadows. For the souls who loved themselves in fragments, and called that act holy. You are not broken. You are the storm the silence tried to outlive.

Silent Colors, Loud Hearts
Every June, the city came alive with a tide of rainbow flags, laughter, and music — but to Sam, it always felt like a festival meant for someone else. Hidden beneath baggy shirts and borrowed silence, Sam walked past the painted sidewalks and the crowded streets of Pride Month with lowered eyes and a tightened heart. No matter how vibrant the world became around them, Sam remained gray on the inside — not from lack of color, but from fear of what might burst forth if they dared to open up.

When we Stand Together, We Expand Together
I am not queer. That feels important to say—not to center myself, but to be honest about the position I speak from. I don’t know what it’s like to walk into a room and immediately scan it for safety, wondering if a glance, a joke, or a single word might shift everything. But I know what it means to love someone who does. I know what it’s like to watch someone soften their voice or swallow their truth. I’ve seen people I care about carry themselves with quiet courage in a world that makes their identity a battleground.

The American Dream: One Nation, Many Stories
The United States of America — a name that echoes with power, promise, and purpose. Across oceans and continents, it’s a symbol of freedom. For some, it's a dream; for others, it's home. But behind the stars and stripes lies something deeper: a story of people. A story of resilience. A story of unity in diversity.

Why I’m Proud of My Roots: A First-Generation Immigrant’s Voice
Why I’m Proud of My Roots: A First-Generation Immigrant’s Voice Introduction: Who I Am and Where I Come From They say identity is a journey. For me, it has been an ocean—deep, unpredictable, and endlessly vast. I was born in a land where my name was not strange, my accent was not noticeable, and my food didn’t need translation. But that land became a memory when my family moved across continents, chasing a better life and sacrificing almost everything familiar to start from zero. I became a first-generation immigrant overnight—young, confused, and silently holding the weight of two worlds.
