Why was she on the panel? When did she get a book published? Consequently, when the panel was done, rather than seizing the opportunity to talk to Roxane Gay, I went to verify if it was in fact Tracy. And when I realized it was her, I felt the same sense of competition I felt in middle school. I’m not sure why that stuck out in my mind because during most of the discussion I was obsessing over the fact that a childhood nemesis was one of the panelists.įor a good portion of the talk I wondered if that could really be Tracy from middle school. Roxane Gay was one of the women who talked about coming from that experience. At one point during the panel, a few of the panelist mentioned they were children of Haitian immigrants. It was a collection of Black women authors talking about the Black female protagonist. I first saw Roxane Gay on a panel at AWP.
