So much joy 💗! TRUE TRUE was selected by @bc_ala as one of the Best of the Best books of 2023. These past few months have been a whirlwind. An abundance of conversations with students of all ages about community building, STEM, resilience, and finding your voice.

Had a great time at Fordham HS for the Arts. I was delighted to present alongside: Christine Pride, Eliot Schrefer,& Gabriel Bump. I always learn so much from students at these author visits. Their words and enthusiasm fill me with hope and joy. Big up to the House Of SpeakEasy for setting it up.
