I believe in Britta Ba-Doom Badour!

A fantastic day 1 The FOLD w/@canisialu and CREE HOMO 🌾 for the "Breaking Down Poetry" workshop. Thank you for your wisdom and reasoning.

My Friday is cooler than your Friday #FOLD2020

In the packed (!) waiting room for part II of this discussion, thinking about literary resistance (Nakinisowin) and brutality under the guise of benevolence (@canisialu) #FOLD2020

My claws came out for the 1000-piece puzzle, but this observe-the world-while-walking bingo during crisis really connected to my writer self

And @farzanadoctor thank you for moderating the #FOLD2020 “What We Found” panel so thoughtfully

Tonight Brooklyn Caribbean Literary Festival + Carnival Hunters will host a much needed conversation on #mentalhealth in the #Caribbean against the backdrop of poetry from the region and diaspora. ZOOM/IG/FB details below. Come thru. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #caribbeanliterature

Tomorrow night, @canisialu and I will be talking writing and preoccupations, thanks to the folks at A Different Booklist (ADBCC). Register at: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist… Come with your Qs and love. #TheLitSalon #ADBCCE

Eyes wide open.

Such a warm welcome from an amazing team Samantha Haywood Transatlantic Agency

So looking forward to this conversation. The best part? I’ll be calling in from #Antigua, the birthplace of #jamaicakincaid whose book “A Small Place”, a searing and delightful critique on tourism, inspired my essay in @WatchYrHead.

Looking forward!
