writing

i realised sometime in high school that i liked to write those essays they made us do in english literature class. when i started university i took some literature courses and ended up graduating with a major in media and writing. i learned the ins and outs of media theory and the media landscape in post-apartheid south africa, and consequently found myself writing primarily from a critical decolonial lens. i don’t think i actually learned a lot about how to write beyond a traditional academic setting, but i learned the processes that make for a piece that’s well-structured, well-researched, and engaging for broad audiences.
