Just published a new Substack piece: A Little Writer from the Bronx.
It's about the first stories I ever wrote, the dream I never outgrew, and why I'm still writing.

Just shared a new Substack essay: A Day in the Life of an Invisible Woman.
It’s about what it feels like to move through the world unseen — and still write, love, and create anyway.
If you happen to see this post, share it… maybe I’m not invisible after all.

I just launched my Substack 🎉 It’s my new space to talk about books, films, TV, and my journey as an author & screenwriter. My first post: why I pushed my book launch to 2026 (and what’s next).

Why I Pushed My Book Launch to 2026 (and What’s Next)
The lessons I learned from rushing my first book launch — and why slowing down is my best strategy now.  This isn’t a delay. It’s a strategy. Why my next book won’t launch until 2026.

They told us art imitates life, but now life is eerily imitating dystopian art. From banned books to oppressive laws, our world mirrors the warnings of ‘1984,’ ‘The Handmaid’s Tale,’ and ‘A Brave New World.’ What was once dystopian fiction is becoming reality #DystopianReality #BannedBooks

The systemic treatment of Black Americans mirrors the cycle of abuse in toxic relationships—escalating harm, false promises of progress, and ongoing violence. How long do we stay where we are not safe? #BlackVoices #SocialJustice

More good news for those looking to exit Meta’s social app ecosystem. An independent dev is building a photo-sharing app for #Bluesky called Flashes. It's powered by the same tech that underpins Bluesky, the AT Protocol, and has been built using code from the devs earlier Bluesky client, Skeets.

Alright #Booksky, time I confessed: I’ve been lurking here for 2mo like the shy kid at school. 😅 I’m a reader, blogger, & author with big book goals who loves forming book clubs (even if it’s just me & my hubby 🤷🏽‍♀️). What’s everyone reading? Help me find my tribe! 👋🏽📚
