Hi Sarah,
Thank you for your question. As a Latino woman, who is often "judged" because she isn't dark enough, I would say it's also offensive to consider someone not "native enough" because of the color of their skin. There are plenty of people, including myself, who have native blood, but their skin color also reveals otherwise. Everyone comes in a variety of colors with different backgrounds, and it's important to respect those differences.
Regarding the headdress, all I can say is it's revealed later in the novel, but I cannot give away any spoilers. My cover has been liked my several diversity groups, including a Native publication on Instagram. I was also nominated for the In The Margins award, a highly respected committee that celebrates diversity.
I hope this answers your question!

Whichever project I'm working on, I give it a break and get back to it another time. Sometimes your mind needs space and clarity.

Mostly through experiences in my life. I also love writing about forbidden romances. Stuff like Romeo and Juliet really grabs my attention! I also get my inspiration from crazy dreams I've had

When I first got my heart broken in 11th grade. I kid you not, I was dumped in a text message! I needed a way to vent out my feelings and Poet Tongue was born :)
