Wild to witness something grow from a silly bit into a real book. @jeffcannata’s movie limericks started as a joke on @thefilmcastpod—now it's a staple, and I’m holding the book fans asked for. Even cooler? My name’s in it. Creativity truly knows no limits.

One of my proudest accomplishments is distilling everything I’ve learned over the years into a coursebook.
Sadly, most people don’t even know it exists.
If you’re curious, I can send you an author’s copy (basically the cost I pay per book).
DM me if you're interested.

This movie tells the true story of the 1st Afghan women's robotics team. Seeing it on International Women's Day felt apropos. While it can come off formulaic, safe, and geared towards a Western audience, I found it very touching, eye opening, and inspiring for sure. If you can, I'd say check it out.
