Just over a year ago, I first heard this book would eventually exist— & now here are all these stories, for real life, in physical form, proof for an author who can barely believe it. (Launch & other event info coming soon!)

Please sign, especially if you’re Georgetown-affiliated! Despite Brittany’s professor agreeing to let her take her exam early, Georgetown denied her accommodations. This is also a routine experience for disabled students at Georgetown — completely unacceptable.
Georgetown Law has told a pregnant student whose baby is due during exams that she must take the test a few days postpartum, with baby in tow. No early or remote exam since “it would be inequitable to all the other non-birthing students in her class.” https://t.co/1neZtHxaem

Still over the moon with this news! To celebrate, we'd love to raise as much as possible for @LKTuffaha's HEAL Palestine fundraiser. All proceeds from of any of Lena's incredible collections will go straight there. Can we double our goal? Triple it? ✨📚🌿
Something About Living by Lena Khalaf Tuffaha has won the 2024 #NBAwards for Poetry!
