Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.
Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

My # 1 critique partner gave the 🤌🏾 seal of approval for "The Night Mia Followed the Drums." During her dance solo she recreated Mia's yanvalou that healed 3 generations.
"Mia ... gracefully flapped her arms like a majestic bird, and side-stepped with her feet, her hips and neck in step."

Flew into Boston to see the family & do fall 'tings with my #1.
Went 🍎 picking to a farm that had no 🍎s. They suggested we go 🎃 picking instead, 🎃s were already picked. Then decided 2 do a 🌽 maze. As farmers we realized it was sorghum growing not 🌽. Felt like I was in a real life picture book. LOL

We have reports of the FIRST known offer of rep by a literary agent has been received due to #DVpit 2025! Less than 2 weeks is so fast, but is proof that the marginalized voices that participated are needed in publishing! We are so proud of everyone who put their work out there! #booksky #writersky

but instead of ghosts —
it’s people on social media calling themselves “linguists”
while calling Creole a broken language.

It was really hard not to like any of the #dvpit posts (although I accidentally — and aggressively — hit “like” on one and quickly unliked it 😅). They’ve been so enjoyable! Good luck to everyone! I can’t wait to buy your books once they’re on shelves.

I’m a #kidlit author who LOVES using onomatopoeias—because they’re awesome! Also, I’m Caribbean, and a story about our day without boom! bam! wap! is genetically impossible. But my brain refuses to remember how to spell “onomatopoeia.” 😩 I look it up every. single. time. SMH

Leaving home is never easy, but sometimes it’s the only choice. In this #PB of onomatopoeias, a family must trek, slosh, slog, swish & march across the 🏜️, 🌊 & jungle searching for a new place to call home after men with guns make theirs unlivable. A timely read.

Mama & Papa created a safe home for their family. Men with guns said otherwise. After they k!lled Mama, joining a Caravan of people marching across South & Central America 2 petition for asylum in the US was a safer option than staying. Months later the 4 find a safe place to call home. #dvpit #pb

Kai ❤️s his unique gap-toothed smile. He’s sad when a fall knocks out his 2 front teeth. Kai & his friend at the last minute before sundown deliver his 2 broken teeth to the Magical Tooth Fairy Rat. Earning a perfect new set of teeth with his signature gap. Based on a Haitian Folktale. #dvpit #pb

Under the water, to the land with no hats. That’s where they say Mama went after she died. Calliope learns to hold joy and grief when a butterfly visit helps her remember Mama's last words, "Wherever you go, I go, even when you can’t see or hear me,” especially when she swims. #mr #dvpit #pb #bvm

Doum doum doum, biim biim biim, ra ta ta, the Haitian drums call Mia’s soul. Unfortunately, Mama fearfully forbids it. Mia longs to follow in the footsteps of Grann & dance. Bravely choosing heritage and culture over fear, Mia heals 3 generations & brings dance into her Mama's life. #dvpit #PB #bvm

Home was the safest place…until it wasn’t. A dad packs up his family & takes them on a perilous journey joining a Caravan of people. With hopes of making it to the other side of the water, through South & Central America to apply for asylum at the US Border. Finally finding home & safety. #dvpit #PB

Kai doesn't think he's brave or talented. Then he inherits his grt-grandpa’s machete & qualifies 2 represent Haiti @ the Jr. Machete Martial Arts Competition. When his magical machete is stolen & a supernatural soucouyant on the loose he learns that HE'S the magic, not the blade #dvpit #MG #trilogy

“Mama, why is your snout so long?” Piglet is brand new 2 life & has questions! Mama Pig's cheeky response: “one day you’ll find out, you are just starting out after all.” Inspired by a #Haitian proverb, Piglet indeed learns about life & grows to have snout just as long as Mama. #dvpit #pb #Fables

In the aftermath of persecution of Vodou in Haiti, Mia’s mom forbids her from attending any dance ceremonies. Caught between fear & longing, Mia feels called by the beats of the drums. Bravely choosing longing she leads 3 generations to healing. Family & heritage winning over fear. #dvpit #PB #BVM
