Blessing Jee is a rising senior at Cleveland High School and currently the Editor-in-Chief of the school newspaper, Le Sabre. She has a passion for journalism and writing in general. She enjoys following feminist and anti-racist blogs, as well as watching speeches by Obama, who she thinks is quite attractive. If she could vote (which she can't because she is not 18 yet), she would vote Democrat. If she could sing (which she can't), she would sing Adele songs all day long. If she could cook (which she can't), she would cook pasta for lunch every day because that's her favorite food. But since she can't do any of the above, she chooses to do something she can do: write.
