NUNUMBlending Flash Fiction & ArtInterview with Emma Goldman-Sherman
I want my writing to help readers feel less alone, but that's just for starters. I also want my writing to push the culture forward and change the world. Most of my work is what has been labeled political because it is concerned with global ideas. But I think of these ideas as what makes us human. I think writing can change audiences or readers by showing female characters as the full humans they are and by showing trans characters (I'm trans, forced to grow up female) as the full humans that we are. My play Abraham's Daughters includes American Zionists and Palestinian Muslims. It was set during the first Intifada in 1993. The play offers some context for what is happening today. It also shows how politics affect us on an individual and a family level. My play Counting in Sha'ab is about Iraqis in the aftermath of a car bomb. People we don't get to see typically are just as human as we are.

I want more people to know that they can have big goals for the writing they do. Even with flash. NUNUMBlending Flash Fiction & Art
