Kadin Burnett

Young. Happy. Creative.
I love to write, and to tell stories, and to connect with people. I’m not yet a best-selling anything, or a visionary whatever, I’m just trying to make someone laugh, smile, cry or feel something when they read what I’ve written. I write here all the time, and monthly for the Women’s Media Center.

If you want to read some work just scroll down.
