I offer this as a show of vulnerability and the kind of creativity that carried me to write, and through this book. And it’s fitting that the language of sport - my mother tongue - is what helped me make sense of it all. Once I gave myself permission to claim the Athlete in me, when all signs said I shouldn’t, that is when I found the opening. And here it is that I am playing yet another game on a different field, but with the same energy (read: inner G) that carried me before I knew I was a writer.
My First Carry is an ode to the little nerdy athletic boy who has always found a seam; this is no different.
