First recruitment visit as a family is check-done. Excited for him but how did we get here so fast?
Had a great game day visit at FIU Saturday! Big thanks to the coaches and staff for showing love. Loved the energy, the facilities, and the vision they have for the program. Definitely a place on the rise. 🔵🟡🐾 #GoPanthers #PawsUp

Here’s your problem, ok? O K? You get a Very Special Edition Of a thing. You take it out of the box. You throw it away. You drink it. You throw it away. You move on. I don’t. I put it in A nicer box. On my wall. O K? Ok.

Celebrating The Stone Thrower’s 13th Birthday feels extra special when I also get to celebrate a big game by Edan. ♥️

The Stone Thrower - my first book - is 13 years old today. Thanks to @dundurnpress for continuing to make it available to readers and thanks to the people who have found it and loved it and supported me since the start! If you have a memory of my dad or the book, let me know! 👇🏽

I will never not be annoyed when ppl are given a platform on Canadian television to recommend books and they proceed to recommend a list of titles that feature the same kinds of authors and very few people of colour. Titles used to be hard to find but now there’s no excuse.

Theo Huxtable aka Malcolm Jamal Warner passing and HH (whose real name I don’t care to know) passing are not the same and should not be treated the same, and I will not be explaining this further. Google it.

On one hand, I’m happy to point out what I think are significant areas for improvement in publishing. On the other hand, it does get really annoying to be the one left to say the hard things out loud.

Love this! Congrats Nneka Myers, your work in @JaelRichardson’s picture book Because You Are was outstanding. Can’t wait for this new book by @JalenHurts to showcase your talent as well.

We weren’t as engaged in the questions of who we are as a country. That has changed. Annexation threats will do that. ELBOWS UP, a collection of Canadian writers putting their shoulders to the wheel on these questions, coming this October. Preorder: https://t.co/ikRCZRNE8c
