I have a 10-year track record of writing for the Jewish community.

The funny thing is that I write and I act a lot about being Jewish, but I don't really think about it as a regular person.

Of course I consider myself a Jewish writer - I am one! All of the protagonists in my five books have been Jewish, and I wouldn't be surprised if all my future main characters were as well.

I'm part Jewish and part Christian, but I'm mostly Jewish.

I'm Jewish. Went to a Jewish school.

I'm an immigrant writer, or an African writer, or an Ethiopian-American writer, and occasionally an American writer according to the whims and needs of my interpreters.

I'm half Jewish, but no one believes me because my looks lean a little WASP-y... It's sometimes hard for me to get the roles I'm drawn to.

I'm a good girl, and I have a very good Jewish family who brought me up very well.

I consider myself West African, among other cultural identities, and a writer, among other creative ones.

Coming from Canada, being a writer and Jewish as well, I have impeccable paranoia credentials.
