As Gloria Anzaldúa famously wrote, “I am my language.” How we speak and write carries our histories and stories, the places we have been, the people who have been part of our lives, all we have read. There is a reason the words author and authority are so closely related. When we write, we take ownership of our thoughts and language. In that, writing is a powerful act.
