Now that we’re finally PM official—my debut novel will be out NEXT YEAR! I love this book with my whole heart, and it’s been such a weird and winding journey to get here. I have so things to say and people to thank and it’s very overwhelming, but I’m so so excited to bring this book to the world. 🪐

Think it's time to start roasting publishers for not supporting BIPOC authors again bc we keep sliding backwards and it's unacceptable
