I love God, people, and stories. I’m a 19 year old apprentice at The Company, where I write about being human.

For most of my life, I never felt like I belonged. Sometimes I didn’t even feel like I belonged with my family. It’s hard to feel on the outside always looking in, but it’s even harder in high school. After a few years of hermitage, I needed to try again. When I started learning about Biblical community and conquering my fears, God taught me so much.

Fast forward a few years and I graduated high school in 2023. That Fall I moved halfway across the country from Little Rock, Arkansas to Cambridge, Ohio. I built a new community from scratch, navigated long-distance relationships, and put down tender roots because I knew God made me to belong. I needed to find a way to live like it’s true.

I’m a Sonlight alumni, homeschooled from first grade to graduation and surrounded by books for most of my life. When I turned thirteen, I ran out of new books to read so I turned to our local library. That’s when I discovered that not all library books are safe or clean. Check out how I review books as a Christian here. I occasionally share book reviews so others who discover the same sad truths will have a resource to turn to.
