Yesterday's #CIAA championship was exactly what I needed. Affirming myself in the many different flavors of our culture is doing wonders for my well-being. Let me leave this here. My apologies my videography got a lil janky.

It's time! After 16 years, I'm back on the YA side of the universe.

I LOVE me some upper middle grade. I have such a heart for those babies. But, I needed to lean hard into teen me's dream book.

Balancing Act
is my version of Gossip Girl meets Sweet Valley High. #Booksky

Voila, cover revealed!

The iconic @busboysandpoets.bsky.social is the bookstore where I've always wanted to do an event.

Veteran author me was geeking like a debut. Thank you Teach for Change for having me as a Black Lives Matter in the Classroom panelist.

We can't give up on fighting for Black Reflections in books!

Adding the story of Dance Theatre of Harlem's first principal dancers into the history on the feed.

Had I known about these ladies maybe I would have ignored the ballet teachers who said it wasn't for me b/c of height.

Jokes on them, now my daughter is a professional Ballerina. #Balletsky

Snow is one of my favorite variations from The Nutcracker. It's elegant, beautiful, and athletic. My baby girl and her colleagues from Ballet Theatre of Maryland show just how strenuous. My girl goes last. #Balletsky

Currently reading this lovely. It's a hard read because these women are retelling racism in the Ballet world that's still present. Their love of classical ballet is palpable, and it's the same fire my daughter, now a professional Ballerina always had. #Booksky
The book The Swans of Harlem sit in between two bottles of wine.
