💫 2024: A Good Year.
🗒️ One of my @ESPNcricinfo long form pieces was longlisted for an award.
🏏 SA made THREE finals.
🧘♀️ I taught at two yoga schools.
📚 I published an academic essay @RaceAndYoga and a fiction story on @KaravanPress.
😻We added a member to our cat family.
Super excited and happy to share that my first fiction story has been published by @KaravanPress in this year’s anthology!
Copies are hot off the press and will be available in South African bookstores (and I’ll find out about online).
Yay!!!

This is special beyond simple words, but I want to pause to acknowledge this moment: Nadine Gordimer's short stories brought me to South Africa in 2004. Dawn Garisch's stories made me want to become a publisher. And now this recognition. The stars have aligned. Thank you.
