I'm beyond grateful for my PB manuscript to have been selected as a Runner-Up with @PBRisingStars. Thank you for the opportunity to gain insight that I may never have received otherwise. 🙏🏿

Usually when I am in the top 1.5% of something it’s like “Congrats! You’ve been selected at the reaping for the Hunger Games!” I have such bad luck! 🫠

Today’s #PBRisingStars news is NOT THAT. I’m over the moon to be a 2025 PB Rising Stars Mentee⭐️🌙

Thank you @PBRisingStars
