NOTE: I publish here rarely. Please visit lakaycornell.com to see more of my work! ••••• I am a lyrical-non-fiction-writer and spoken-word-prose-poet. I claim the monikers of Southern, Progressive, Queer, Feminist, & Single Mom, with the order depending on the day & the audience. • As often as possible, I speak truth to power about what it's like to survive growing up as cult-church royalty in the southern part of the midwest & what it's like to live, love, & lament as a queer progressive adult in the deep south. • I'm putting all the moxie I used to raise an empathetic, confident, queer daughter, with both southern and feminist values, into inciting a revolution that will topple systems instead of people. It's time to burn it all down and rise from the wreckage - whatever that means to you.
