Miss you, Mommie.

Besides dragons, getting to write Black girls surrounded by loving support is my favorite thing ever.

My drop in the bucket of non-erasure is so small. Thank you to everyone who works to fill it. Here’s a bit of the very real history behind my work of fiction, Wildseed Witch. Happy Black History Month to all who celebrate. And, yes. That should include you.

🐍Happy New Year!🐍

In case you’re wondering…Yes. I did see Wicked again…in Peru…and the teens sitting in front of me didn’t seem to speak English, but knew every word. TLDR: Theater Kid is universal.

A little beauty for your stream. #authorlife #Barranco #Peru

The way Central blew my mind. Restaurant is not the proper category. #lima #peru

The fact that llama and flames are homonyms makes me want to learn Spanish. #Lima

Stepped out. #Miraflores #peru

Saw Wicked last night. I’ve seen the show a bunch of times, and the movie *still* exceeded my expectations. Everyone was good, some were great, but at this point @cynthiaerivo.bsky.social just needs to be goated.
