Generally, I start by observing the existing and popular narratives in my social spheres and media, and the pressures I face in my own life experiences.

I studied African American studies, and I read these slave narratives and the escape narratives of people that were able to escape slavery and always found those stories intriguing and powerful and inspiring.
