if you're looking for GFMs to donate to the working-class people of historic Altadena who lost their homes, this is for a Latino family with deep roots in the community - a kind couple who welcomed me into their home with open arms in the past. Their total loss included German's workspace & tools.

my latest @teenvogue.bsky.social my heart broke watching Pasadena, Octavia Butler's hometown, where her middle school is named for her, burn. 5 schools have been damaged. "Octavia knew"—so did Mike Davis—from studying history. denialism and targeting libraries got us here. what will we do?

I had a deadline to meet and it was flash fiction, but I'm proud of it. The story was inspired by liberation, Gaza, & The Congo. Though I'm unable to donate monetarily at the moment, I will always use my writing & my voice to amplify my anti colonial/anti imperial, pro environment beliefs. Free 🇵🇸 🇨🇩

I'll be talking with my 7 yo son about native land today. I started the tradition last year. It's important that he knows about the land we live on, the people who were slaughtered, rounded up, and forced on the Trail of Tears, by whom, and why. native-land.ca #NationalDayOfMourning

If you’re looking to gift #Indigenous stories for your middle schooler: here are some recs! -Healer of the Water Monster by Brian Young -Clairboyance by Kristiana Kahakauwila -Mascot by Charles Waters & Traci Sorell #giftideas #holidays #shopsmall #reading #kidbooks #bookrecs #teachers

Cover of Healer of the Water Monster. Shows an Indigenous elder and young boy drinking out of mugs in front of a fire in the desert.

Cover for the book Clairboyance. Shows a young g Hawaiian girl in a yellow shirt and denim shorts contemplating in the middle of a darker skinned boy with his arms crossed and a light skinned girl with a pony tale smiling. There are tropical plants and a guitar filling in the spaces. The back ground in a giant wave.

This is the cover for Mascot. It has a background of white brick. It looks like a Native mascot is on the wall and red paint has been smeared over it with the book’s title on top of that.

ELA textbooks frustrated me when I taught. I didn't see enough diverse content. So, I curated an educational text featuring some of the best Black speculative writers/ artists I know. That text is Conjuring Worlds: An Afrofuturist Textbook for Middle and High School Students. #Education

Hey everyone. My bio says it all. I'm a kidlit author and Mom. I'm anti-establishment, anti-war, and anti genocide. Hope that helps to figure out if you're in the right place or not. I want to meet and work with creatives, build community offline, and talk about writing and books. 🧡
