“I’m always going to be a failure to somebody, a starlet to somebody, overrated to somebody. I don’t care about any of that, I just want to tell the truth and do it in style.”

At age 18, Bianca Vivion Brooks became the youngest contracted opinion writer for The New York Times. Three years later she became the youngest New York Times writer ever to be published in print.
