hello world, I’m Meron

I’m an Ethiopian-American writer based in Seattle.

I started this blog because I needed the space to write about all of the things keeping me up at night. 

I am most passionate about politics (global and domestic), social policy, and criminal justice. I write social commentary that asks us to interrogate our beliefs, and to challenge the systems around us.

My work is deeply referential of historical contexts, leans on Black feminist frameworks, rests on the shoulders of Black radicals and revolutionaries, and is consistently grounded in critiques of capitalism and colonialism. 

When I’m not writing, I am most often reading, watching movies and shows, taking pictures, or traveling the world.
