</div><b>Name:</b>Brook Allen<br/><b>Age:</b>21<br/><b>Sexuality:</b>Heterosexual<br/><b>Hometown:</b>Malibu, California<br/><b>Date/Time:</b>Wed 7, July (breakfast)<br/><b>Location:</b>Villa Backyard |  Poolside tables<br/><b>Wearing:</b>see image<br/><b>Coupled With:</b>Victor<br/><b>Tagging:</b><a class="username" data-user-id="35" data-username="Cay" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/35/">Cay</a><br/><br/><hr class="bbc-hr"/>It was like William was on the cusp of grasping his dreams. Brook couldn't understand it all. She leaned in and listened to him speak as she dusted off a few veggies that she had put on her plate. If his intent was to get her attention, he had it now.<br/><br/>"It sounds to me like you just need to go for it." Brook blinked as she spoke. "Why not do what I want to do. Just start to see the world, write those stories you want. And to hell with playing it safe and neutral. There are voices in the world that either can't speak for themselves or aren't listened to. Speak up and be loud about it." Brook quickly crunched a baby carrot before continuing. "Fuck the publishers. You don't need them. That whole thing about digital making paper obsolete isn't a death sentence for journalism it's freedom. You no longer have to answer to anyone. Invest your own money into a little marketing, hire someone to help you with your social media and say what you want. Make the world listen to the voices of the people you want to write about.... I didn't stand in the streets to get tear gassed by the police and shot at by white supremacists only to let them silence me. Fuck all that and you shouldn't let some publisher stifle your voice either.... " Brook took a deep breath. "I know I'm worked up about this. It's like what you do is part of the problem. Your publishers are the problem. To make things right there needs to be discourse and that only happens with free speech. People have to admit they are wrong and talk about what to do to make it right."<br/><br/>Brook angrily took a bit off another baby carrot.
