Meet Natasha Driscoll, a 2024 COURAGE to WRITE Writer of Note working on her novel, High Yellow.
In High Yellow, Tamera, a biracial girl navigates her life; learning how race, colorism and popularity shapes the way the world sees her.
Natasha Driscoll is a biracial writer with a passion for youth literacy/writing volunteerism and is a mentor for Girls Write Now. She recently earned her MFA from Bennington College Writing Seminars where she was published in their End of the World Journal!
An exciting update from Natasha: “I have used the funds from the grant to create my own parent writing retreat. I was able to do that for a few days in Maine and I have an opportunity to travel more, where my sole purpose will be writing. Without the grant I would have second guessed myself and not gone on the writing trips. I am almost finished with the first draft. I’m so excited!”
