Instead of standing up to her bully, she’d go home and write about what she should’ve done and what would happen the next time she saw her. But every time she saw her bully, she froze. Her sixth-grade teacher found her notebook and read it. She said, “These plays you’re writing are well thought out.” Sassy was confused because she thought some of the words she’d used would get her into big trouble. Her teacher told all the other teachers how good of a writer Sassy was and applauded her for something she thought was wrong. Her teacher wanted her to find someone with whom to act out the plays in front of the class. She did, and afterwards, she was no longer afraid to confront her bully.
Sassy continued to express her feelings on paper. She decided to write every day because it felt good. Writing helped her overcome bullying and many more dilemmas she faced growing up. Writing was her safe place. She fell in love with urban fiction after reading The Coldest Winter Ever by Sister Souljah. And she fell even deeper after reading Push by Sapphire. These two urban classics inspired Sassy Silverman to write more as a child. Writing feeds her soul, and after so many years of burying her stories, she’s finally at a place where she wants to share her creativity with the world.

“I once read a quote by Mark Twain: ‘The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.’ Well today, I found out that I’m meant to be a writer.”
