Hi friends!

Anime ink was CRAZY! So many new and familiar faces, beautiful art all around, some not so beautiful (ai garbage), but I am reminded how grateful I am to be able to show up and share treats with y'all. I had to take a day to recover, I was so tired.

BUT

Guess what time it is?

The Richmond Book Affair: A childhood dream became reality yesterday and it wouldn’t have been possible without the support of each person who took a chance on a girl with a dream.

Yesterday, I had the amazing opportunity to join @authordanielleallen for a panel at the @richmondbookaffair yesterday💕

We laughed SO much during this panel while also diving into conversations about self-love, choosing yourself, and, of course, the Curvy Girl Series! 💕📖

It was such an amazing opportunity, and I had so much fun being a part of this experience. I’m truly grateful for opportunities like this that allow me to connect with authors, readers, and the book community in such a special way!

Thank you to MK @riverlightreads for inviting me out and thank you @authordanielleallen for just being so amazing ❤️💕
