I donated a virtual school visit for the #lkbf25 Publishing Auction! Proceeds benefit the Latinx Kidlit Book Festival, a 501(c)3 nonprofit literacy org. A portion will also go toward providing new books for schools impacted by the LA fires. The auction closes this Friday! bit.ly/lkbfauction25

Exactly 5 years ago today, #FromtheDeskofZoeWashington hit shelves and I became a published author.🧡 Even with the eventual global pandemic, debuting with this book was an incredible experience. 5 years later, it continues to find new readers. Thank you for all of your support! 🧁🎉

My author life in 2024 had some wonderful moments and also some difficult ones. But when I look at everything I accomplished this year, I’m really proud! Thank you so much for following along this year, and for reading A SPLIT SECOND and BLACK GIRL POWER. Your support means the world to me! 💜
