I’m beyond excited to share some wonderful news — my new children’s coloring book , Big Grandma Rolled Through Our Hearts , will be released on November 21, 2025! This story is very close to my heart. It’s about a little one’s journey of saying goodbye to their beloved grandmother, who turns into something magical — a butterfly with big, beautiful wings. Through soft words and tender illustrations, Big Grandma Rolled Through Our Hearts helps children understand that love never truly leaves us; it simply changes form. When I wrote this book, I wanted to create something comforting — a story families could read together when facing loss, but also one filled with hope, warmth, and gentle smiles. Big Grandma may fly away, but her love still flutters through every flower, every breeze, and every memory. This book is a reminder that goodbyes can become new beginnings, and that those we love continue to guide us, even when we can’t see them. Thank you to everyone who has supported this journe...

       This weekend, I had the incredible honor of participating in the Boston Book Festival , surrounded by brilliant authors, storytellers, and book lovers from all walks of life. The energy was nothing short of inspiring — the kind of magic that only happens when creativity and community meet in one place.      One of the highlights of the festival was hearing Shonda Rhimes , the powerhouse behind Scandal, Grey’s Anatomy, and Shondaland, share her story and wisdom. Listening to her speak reminded me of the importance of saying “yes” — yes to opportunities, yes to growth, yes to stepping outside our comfort zones.      Her book " Year of Yes " continues to resonate with so many of us, and this year, I truly felt the message come full circle. Saying yes brought me to this moment — standing among such talented voices, celebrating stories that heal, empower, and connect.      I left the festival feeling grateful, motivated,...

There’s something magical about book festivals—the energy, the excitement, the love of storytelling that fills the air. This year, I’m not only attending but also volunteering at the Boston Book Festival, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Even more exciting? The incredible Shonda Rhimes will be there! Volunteering gives me the chance to give back to a community that has given me so much. Books have carried me through my hardest days and lifted me on my brightest ones. To be surrounded by readers, writers, and dreamers all in one place feels like a gift. As an author, I’m especially grateful for the opportunity to share my own book with others. My story is one of healing, love, and remembrance, and it means the world to be able to share it with readers who may need it most. The festival isn’t just about famous names or big stages—it’s about connection. It’s about standing in a room full of people who believe, as I do, that stories have the power to change us. And I can’t wait to be p...

There’s something magical about libraries, don’t you think? They’re not just about borrowing books; they’re about providing access to knowledge, imagination, and stories that connect us all. Libraries have always held a special place in my heart. I spent many hours growing up wandering through their aisles, finding treasures I’d never have imagined. Now, knowing my book is on those shelves—waiting for someone to pick it up and dive in—is a feeling that I can’t quite describe. And it’s not just about the physical book either. It's about the stories that come with it. Maybe someone picks it up because they’re curious, or maybe they see the cover and think, “This looks interesting.” Maybe it will spark an idea, start a conversation, or become a favorite read. Whatever the case, there’s something so satisfying about knowing your work is being shared, read, and appreciated by strangers.

Juneteenth is more than a date in history — it's a powerful reminder of resilience, liberation, and the ongoing fight for justice. On June 19, 1865, news of emancipation finally reached the last enslaved people in Galveston, Texas — more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth marks that long-overdue moment of freedom and represents the enduring strength of Black communities. As we honor this day, let’s come together to reflect, celebrate, and continue the work toward equity and empowerment. ✨ Join me for a special Juneteenth celebration! We’ll gather in the spirit of freedom, fellowship, and culture — featuring a Meet the Author moment and book signing highlighting the voices and stories shaping my journey. 📚 Celebrate Black literature 🎉 Connect with community ✊🏾 Honor history and heritage 🗓 June 14, 2025 🕒 12:00pm - 6:00pm 📍 Brockton Fair Grounds This is more than an event—it’s a celebration of freedom, legacy, and the power of storytellin...
