About Me

Anita Jose
Writing from India, I'm an atheist, feminist with Cerebral Palsy. Currently doing my B.A. I created this blog to share random thoughts and talk about things that catch my interest. From feminism and disability rights to atheism and religion, just about anything. I think the posts will speak more about me than a description. So get reading. contact email: anita.skepfem@gmail.com
