Episode Notes

My full name is Miracle Onyenadum Ugweje, however I like to be called Mimi. I am currently a college student at CUNY Lehman College. I love being curious and delving into the things I am curious about, the best way I have found that I do this is through writing. 

 

Although I have always loved writing, recently I have found a new love of critical analysis and storytelling. There are things I feel a strong urge to criticize. I have written many things over the years as a growing writer, from personal poems and short stories to college analytical and academic essays. 

 

Two of my proudest literary feats are writing the lead stories for the EDsnaps e-magazine and a short play I wrote for my screenwriting class in my sophomore year of college. It's called How a Negress Kills. Although I wrote the short play from a creative structure I am proud to say that there are aspects of the character that can be viewed through a critical analysis lens. I believe it is through my love of storytelling and curiosity of the world that I believe in understanding diverse perspectives and fostering positive relationships and environments
