So much joy 💗! TRUE TRUE was selected by @bc_ala as one of the Best of the Best books of 2023.

These past few months have been a whirlwind. An abundance of conversations with students of all ages about community building, STEM, resilience, and finding your voice.

Such a great time st the Highbridge Green School in the Bronx signing books and chatting with students about writing, martial arts, voice over and building community. Big thanks to Meet the Writers for setting it up! 💜over 100 books signed and every 8th grader got a book.

One of those mornings where i can’t get Bone Thugs n Harmony verses out my head, most of which I cant tell if I made up the lyrics to

Love this author community. A time was had at the @harlemfete celebrating good company, creativity and writing. Grateful for all the joy. Happy Holidays!

Had a great time at Fordham HS for the Arts. I was delighted to present alongside: Christine Pride, Eliot Schrefer,& Gabriel Bump. I always learn so much from students at these author visits. Their words and enthusiasm fill me with hope and joy. Big up to the House Of SpeakEasy for setting it up.

“Grant makes a prodigious debut: beyond Gil, he's effortlessly facile with all manner of accents, ages, and backgrounds; his fabulous, fierce Granma is an unforgettable marvel.”

Pics from this weekend’s TRUE TRUE signing at Afropunk. Love having #TrueTrue near Black Boy Joy. Chatted w/ several teachers. Also got to hang with Clarence A. Haynes and Omar Epps who were signing copies of their second book in the Nubia series. #TrueTrueBook #BlackBoyJoy

TRUE TRUE is coming to Afropunk and the Brooklyn Book Festival ⭐️So grateful for all messages from readers who have joined Gil on his journey. Something different resonates with each reader. And I love that this slice of Afro Caribbean and Black culture is out there and being shared by so many. 💜⭐️
