For 2021 Glamour Women of the Year and founders @moonlynnt and @yin_i_am, @heartofdinner "is symbolic of hope." Originally a supper club, it quickly transformed into a mission of creating change once the pandemic hit. #GlamourWOTY2021

You have every right to exercise your VOICE so make it COUNT today. THIS. IS. IT. The LAST day. There's still hours left to vote! Sharing one of the reasons why I voted via a "Why I'm Voting" series profiling BIPOC food people by Cooking with Granny. “I would feel remiss (1/6)

This made my weekend. So proud of my @88cupsoftea Storytellers, thrilled and overjoyed for you @chinelochidebe❤️. A tremendous heartfelt thank you @JoSVolpe @NewLeafLiterary for extending your time for our community!! #storytellers #88cupsoftea #5yearanniversary 👇THREAD👇
Thank you so so so much @JoSVolpe for your generous gift of critiquing my query, 1st 5 pages & answering writing/ publishing questions. It was supposed to be 20 mins but amazing Joanna spent over 1 hour on a Saturday helping make my query & pages stronger, patiently with no rush.

As writers, we must halt the practice of self-rejection starting today. I find this podcast episode very inspiring.
In barely 24hrs, @KatCho's podcast episode received over 1,000 downloads!! For YEARS, Kat has generously shared advice/resources for #88cupsoftea Storytellers & the #writingcommunity. Proof is in the metrics. You show up for your community and they'll show up for you. 🎉🎉🎉

Listening to the @88cupsoftea episodes has been highly inspiring and affirming. Not just because of the generously shared writing advice, but also for discovering other writers who have lived through the 1970's (a tiny but delightful thing, heh).

CONGRATULATIONS ON WINNING TIME WITH @sztownsend81, HAYLEY!!! Your story resonated with me especially during times where racism, xenophobia, and discrimination have been escalating due to Covid. Our stories matter, always have, always will. #AsianDiasporaCreators #AsianExcellence
Just listened to the @88cupsoftea episode with Ibi Zoboi and Yusef Salaam. Such a great episode with important conversations, and of course, it was really exciting to hear the announcement at the end. Thank you for the prize/opportunity! #writerscommunity
