Kendrick Lamar's Superbowl performance is why funding arts and humanities matters. We have Kendrick because his teacher introduced him to poetry and writing.

Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue.
TWENTY.
As in, they call that getting slammed.
So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind.

I never imagined I would be releasing the cover of a book that is very in tune with what is going on in the world right now, but here we are. I started writing CHLOE VEGA AND THE AGENTS OF MAGIC in 2018 when immigrant families were being separated at the border... (1/4).
