The Day I Finally Called Myself a Writer
My Writings, Publishing/Literary
Because That's What I Told Harry Belafonte
By Felicia Pride
It took me years to actually claim the title: writer.
Many of us become published writers, see our names in print, start collecting actual checks. And still, we can't say it out loud: I am a writer.
The first time I said it was in 2006. It was in Kingston, Jamaica. I
had been writing professionally for about four years. But never once
did I use the anointed title to describe myself.
