About the author

Lauryn Evelyn is a mixed teenager from the suburbs outside of Chicago who aspires to be an artist, photographer, journalist, scientist, wants to be enlightened and wants to be both a black power activist and feminist activist.

Lauryn Evelyn is me, Lauryn Newton lol.

Evelyn is my middle name. It has been both my grandmothers' names. This name is very significant because I believe that they were very strong, independent women. And that is what I want to be. 

I didn't know my Gramma Evelyn very well because she died when I was a young age, but I do remember her being such a sweet woman and just so strong. I want to be like her. 

Sweet and sassy!

A little about me:

1. I'm not very socially accepted lol. Because I am socially awkward. I'm trying to fix that though!

2. I am very different. There aren't a lot of people who follow the same hobbies as I do in the area where I live. So I'm sort of the odd one out.

3. I am mixed. My father is white, Mexican, and Irish mainly. And my mother is African-American.
