For the past year + @michaelkiwanuka music has been a buoy and anchor, but one song in particular has imprinted itself on my soul. I feel it deep down, in such a way that it has truly expanded me and my work. It’s called “Interlude (Loving the People)” youtu.be/iO0mwA7Y5QU

#FlashbackFriday: last month’s Conversation with Friends event with my alma mater Sidwell Friends. Love is being able to hold something up to the light and see its flaws without turning away.
These past 30 days have been an author’s dream. Talks, Interviews, reviews, parties—I’ve been blessed. But the photos from friends, family members, colleagues and readers have been the sweetest gestures of all. To those who sent me a picture of their book, thank you!

In 2006, @PoliticsProse invited me to do my first ever in-store. As a DC kid, it was an honor. 15 years later, it’s an even bigger honor to share space with the generous and brilliant @jlythcotthaims! RSVP for this virtual event and join us on June 18: bit.ly/3iiqBrL
