In relation to Anastasia Glover’s success, give (or paraphrase) a quote from Ayesha Siddiqui’s essay “can a white girl twerk?”
“Transfer to a white body elevates the action,” she wrote. “It’s no longer primitive because while nonwhite culture is assumed to be rooted in instinct, white culture is one of intent.”

Who wrote this and where? : “Transfer to a white body elevates the action, It’s no longer primitive because while nonwhite culture is assumed to be rooted in instinct, white culture is one of intent.”
