Questions I Would Ask Mev Puleo

by Sara Bronder

Questions I Would Ask Mev Puleo…what wouldn’t I ask? How did you become so profound, honest, REAL, charismatic, beautiful, determined, broken, desirable, human in just 24 years? What was it like to leave it all behind at 32 years? How did you allow yourself to fall in love so deeply with someone? To trust someone so intensely that you could write such fantastic and challenging and down right raw words in a letter to that person? How did you make words come alive on a page? How did you make people and places come alive through black and white photographs? How did you live in this world as a Christian woman who had desires, dreams, goals, great ambition, yet not lose that sense of purity? Where did you learn such boldness? Where did your bravery come from? Were you scared? Did you ever think like I do? Think about stupid things like boys and frizzy hair and your pores and cup size? How did you create such an amazing person out of yourself? How did/do you make people fall in love with you through the pages of a required reading? What defined you? What was your best moment? Who taught you to love? Where did your incredible faith come from and how did you sustain it?
