Write a book, they say. You'll never work a day in your life if you love what you do, they say. But the promo. My God, the promo! So here we are. And now you have 3 days left to enter the Good Reads Giveaway for a chance at an Arc of Balancing Act. #Booksky www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...

Why does #HouseofKnives feel like they were going for an Asian food show feel but then selected Scott Conant as the host. It's confusing and not holding my attention the way other competitive cooking shows usually do.

Seeing stuff from Snoop or WaPo gets the same reaction from me. I can't scroll by fast enough.

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.

Okay so...let me gather myself. Because it's the last day of 28 Days Later and I'm emotional. I can't say enough words about the community that, by sheer force of compassion, loves on Black kidlit authors and illustrators. I love me some, Edi! 🤎🤎

Never forget that Terror Squad made an entire banger using Roberta Flack's version of If Only For One Night. Rest in Peace to a soulful Queen. 💫

The definition of, if you want something done find a busy person... he's been busy adding to the community.

Being in community is a lifestyle. I love seeing an entire career made from that organic support.

A book about teens teening is NOT an Issue book. The label presumes it's a heavy or traumatic read. Teens live in the same garbage fire as adults. YA is about them getting through the day, the week. In Balancing Act my characters go through shit yet there's hope and joy. It's called life.
