I did not think this would be exciting as it is I don’t know why because it was such a long journey to finish it, but this is pretty cool. Today is the day my book arrived. I received the first copy!

Shout out to all the people who reviewed iterations of this work!! ❤️❤️ @rutgersupress.bsky.social

My first solo book is available for pre-order but I’m also excited that it will be open access. I wanted it to be available for educators & anyone who wanted to support immigrant students in their schools. I’m excited to share more later this spring. #immigranted @immigrantednext.bsky.social

I’m so sad. But my tradition for #mlk is to reflect and write about things that matter #sobs

Does anyone else go to their favorite old bookstores in cities and see if the same books are there in the same places they used to be or are you not a total nerd? 🤓 #citylights #oldfavs #missedyou

Instead of academic content, I’m going to post the picture of my carrot cake that I made for yesterday because it was amazing. I was very proud of myself for the first time I didn’t mess up a baking task. Hope everyone had a nice day. 😍🤗🍰🍁

Exercising our privilege- we vote for women’s reproductive rights, funds 4 schools/parks, and affordable housing, & dignity for those who are excluded from the democratic process despite contributing immigrant labor. We vote for humanity in our multiracial/lingual democracy. Now snacks & vino.
