120 days later, #Lalibela is freed from the invading forces of TPLF. It is heartening to hear that many places in Amhara and Afar are also freed from the TPLF. I cannot wait to talk to family and friends. There are some I will never see again.

As an author, I’m always so grateful when reviewers go deep into my book. Thank you to @Watts_Writes for digging into the central theme of grief. Hidden within the history, magic and mischief, grief is really what I wanted to explore. Thank you @WesterlyMag!

Just finished watching Brittany Higgins and George speak at #NPC. Cried and felt heartbroken and buoyed all at once. Thank you both - you stand on the shoulders of giants, but you have become giants yourselves.
