Hello, my friend-
My name is Lori, and I am a queer woman of the rainbow! However, my skin is white, alas!! I am a poet as well, writing since I am 13. I am an English/Biology double major and went on to Medical school. I am an MD now, a family doctor, but I am in the mountains, simply writing my own book. I come into freelancer to share my experience and gifts, specifically when the wall of writers' block is staring me down. I would LOVE to work with you, as I have had a life of turmoil due to my sexuality, and mostly my profession. In addition, I have been a missionary ( as a Jew was an interesting trick) with the World Gospel Mission (Franklin Graham's) and spent an incredible time in Bomet, Kenya Working at Tenwek Hospital. I treated the Kipsigis and Maasai tribes with very little supplies and became a much better doctor and a far better person. It changed my life. Enough about me! I am certain I can edit your poetry with the eye of a queer woman, and my heart understanding the plight of a woman of color. What's more, I do have some background in East Africa, and Swahili, but mostly the experience of being cast out, fearful, and assumed inferior. Please allow me to work with you on this. It would be my honor.
My Best,
Lori
