Last night’s LGBTQ+ Publishing 101 panel was genuinely inspiring. Real talk about navigating publishing as queer writers, and the response has already been incredible.

Sharing a quote from my poem “Unpassable” — part of my forthcoming collection Still, We Are Sacred — for Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
We carry what they tried to erase.
Honor the ancestors. Tell the truth.

Today, I had a virtual moment with Pose creator Steven Canals and I’m floored—my first poetry book, “Pier Queen” was a source of inspiration for the pilot. 🖤
That little chapbook from ’97 still echoes.
