Renee Bess

What a woman!

Renee Bess is a writer also with Regal Crest. She, Jane V, and myself were part of the first RCE Blog Tour. I got to meet Renee at the Golden Crown Literary Society (GCLS) conferences and was impressed with her voice, both written and spoken.

Renee writes of one minority (black lesbians) and I write of another (disabled lesbians). It is a risk writing either one but so far, both have been embraced by the lesbian community.

The first time Renee and I met was online. We were to be part of a panel at the GCLS con - The Other. I said in an email (sent to the other panelists and the moderator) that I was the token crip. Later, Renee told me she thought I meant I was the token gang member. We've been friends ever since.

At any rate, Renee has been featured on a website and has a wonderful essay about writing as a black lesbian about black lesbians.
