[Valerie Boyd @valboydwrites]

@RozRBentley Me too. The Mary Tyler Moore show as well. Something about that newsroom culture always held appeal.

Getting into some good trouble with @aunjanuejlt and @CharlayneHG, and the good folks at @BitterSouth. These two geniuses are part of the amazing dream team I'll be working with for "Summer Voices," a new guest editor series that I'm helping the magazine to launch.

@johntedge Excited to be a part of the SFA advisory board and to work with you, John T!

[Valerie Boyd @valboydwrites]

@thotscholar @craigspoplife Thanks for buying my book! Thanks for recommending it, Craig. Yes, Zora was complicated, but that letter was more Malcolm X-style radicalism than folks realize. Tweet me when you finish the book and we can discuss it. Always happy to talk with other Zora-heads!

[Valerie Boyd @valboydwrites]

@craigspoplife I forgot about it as well. But you were writing your arse off here!

[Valerie Boyd @valboydwrites]

@RozRBentley @southernsouffle I'm into pimento cheese now, thanks to Erika!

[Valerie Boyd @valboydwrites]

@RozRBentley @southernsouffle Whaaaaaat? We doing dropoffs now? Roz, where's my invite?! I know how to socially distance! Erika, you'll be hearing from me!

[Valerie Boyd @valboydwrites]

@RozRBentley @southfoodways @johntedge This looks fabulous, Roz! So proud to be a part of this. Huge thanks to you and JTE!

@sarahmbroom Sweet of you to say, Sarah. It was my absolute pleasure. Congrats on ALL the success. Let’s catch up soon. I still want to bring you to UGA. [email protected]

[Valerie Boyd @valboydwrites]

@RozRBentley I’d love to read their story, too, as written by YOU.

[Valerie Boyd @valboydwrites]

@craigspoplife Cool! Didn't know this was in the works. Congrats!
