So good. As always. The hard realities and “math” of home economics and career starts for writers/book-people of color. Also I had the privilege of getting the @kategavino illustration treatment back in 2016!

My 15 seconds of “fame” with this novel—the hardest thing I’ve ever done (novel#2)—was the most gratifying of my life: the team and fellow authors @RelegationBooks made it gold. I hope you’ll check out The Loved Ones and all the other titles if you haven’t already.

[Sonya Chung @ChungSonya]

May you find or create spaces where all of your layers are welcome - where you don’t find yourself diluting your amazing flavor.
