“Sofia Molimbi’s writing reflects an extremely original voice, a keen ear for language and nuance, and a poetic way of using dialogue that made the work really sing. Her subtle sense of humor is imbedded in the situation and in the contrasting personalities of the characters. I responded to her entertaining yet very real characters, the sharpness of her ability to get into their heads and render the truth in their voices, and the diversity of people she portrays.”- JUDGE’S COMMENTS, Oregon Literary Arts 2023 Fellowship Committee
