Jaeden Roberts

2021 Whipple Writing Fellow

Jaeden Roberts '23 is a student at Brookline High School. Since Kindergarten, she has searched for a mode to express who they were in identity and soul. She quickly fell in love with all forms of art, and found themself painting and printmaking, playing sonatas on the piano, and - multiple times a week at minimum - strolling the isles of Brookline Booksmith, running her fingers along the spines of every book. Among those arts, writing is held in a special place in their heart as a mode to express her gender, sexuality, race, and emotions. Within the wide expanse of the writing world, next to her love for poetry and flash fiction, they delve into non-fiction in an attempt to push the world to remember. She is thankful for the opportunity the Whipple Fellowship has given them to expand her writing world, and to make the most out of their other talented classmates during workshops and revisions.
