From my birthday on a January Monday in 2020 to one in 2026 Here are my lessons: 1) All it takes is one yes. 2) The work truly begins when your dream comes true 3) Jealousy is poison but it's got a fast acting antidote: cheering people on. It drives away jealousy and helps you make friends. 1/4

I have my own thoughts on Wicked: For Good, specifically on how it's a surprisingly deft depiction of social moments for marginalized communities. (Had to dust off my undergrad Peace and Justice major for that one.) #edenappiahkubi #author #wicked #wickedforgood
