So nice to see this dream for children of color and all kids to see images of the peace that they are, coming true. Grateful to my publisher North Atlantic Books for publishing My Heart Flies Open due out September 7th 2021.

@British_Airways Due to travel in a few days, and have had a terrible experience with British Airways. My daughter's dog is an officially trained service dog, I provided all the paperwork, and they have denied the dog travel!!! cannot get sense out of anyone there. Diabolical!!!!

@ResmaaMenakem @RepKeithEllison Hi Resmaa, my name is Dr. Omi, an author of North Atlantic and Penguin Random House, and I have been trying to get hold of you to include your wisdom into a book I am currently writing. I have contacted your team at least fifteen times with no response. How do I get in contact?

Asheville healing community has really stepped forward. When I put a call out for individuals to contribute to a My Heart Flies Open Emotional Care pack for Ralph Yarl, I ended up with 21 contributors! Deep gratitude! #RalphYarl #writerscommunity #readingcommunity

Dr. Martin Luther King's words, "if not us, then who? If not now then when?" inspired me to paint the images that became my children's yoga book, My Heart Flies Open. Happy Martin Luther King Day! #PB #kidlit #authorsoftwitter #writingcommunity #myheartfliesopen

Have you ever turned down a potentially nice PB publishing contract, because you and the publisher's vision for your work was not in alignment? Yesterday, I did. I woke up this morning and felt good with my decision. #kidlit #AuthorsOfTwitter #writersoftwitter #WritingCommunity

So much gratitude to my publisher #northatlanticbooks for bringing out this important book #thetraumaofcaste and to #Thenmozhi Soundararajan for writing it. #writingcommunity #writersoftwitter #AuthorsOfTwitter

@Penprince_ Really loving it! It is now one of my favorite books of all time, and can't stop telling people about it!!!! Enjoying it so much reading the stories very slowly, so I don't get to the end too quickly! Thanks to you and your team for this gem.

Okay, I am obsessed with Africa Risen, a collection of magic-realism/sci-fi short stories from African and African Diasporic writers. Just read the short story Mami WaterWorks by Russell Nichols. Yum!!!! #AfricaRisen #PB #WritingCommunity #AuthorsOfTwitter

Thrilled to be a part Carnegie Hall's Afrofuturism podcast! I got the chance to read and talk with some amazing writers like @MauriceBroaddus, @nytebird45,
@LPKindred, @blackpotmojo, Gary Jackson, and Poetica Bey. There's also music between the readings. Check it out!

Just received my copy of ORBIT (The School Magazine), wherein I found a poem you will also find (if you look, and I hope you will), in my upcoming collection, though there it will be called "Breezy Does It." #kidlit #childrensbooks #poetry #poem

@thhernandez_ya Thank you!!!

[Dr. Omileye @omileye]

Writers, help! What do you do when you have so many potential children book ideas beaming into you from the universe, all at the same time?! Do you store them in notebooks, try to write a couple at the same time etc.? #pb #writingcommunity #kidlit

[Dr. Omileye @omileye]

@AprilBerryBooks Thank you! Love this suggestion. 😍

[Dr. Omileye @omileye]

@KariAnnGonzale1 @PbSpree @JyotiGopal Love! 😍

[Dr. Omileye @omileye]

If I could share one secret sauce with #PB writers, who want to write mindfulness books for children. What would it be? go into a meditative state and let it write itself. #kidlit #PB #writerscommunity #AuthorsOfTwitter
