ICYMI: I was a participating author @chocolatecitylitfest this weekend, and let me tell you—we had a time!

Not only did I run into some of my favorites (so many authors & bookstagrammers I adore and now get to call friends plus readers I’ve had the pleasure of meeting before), I also finally got to hug a few people I’ve only known virtually... which is always its own kind of magic.

And the new readers (shout out to all my new followers)?! Y’all had me cracking up. From Erika Kane to those old-school Harlequin Fabio covers, the conversations were top tier. But my favorite part might have been meeting women who told me they’re going to start asking themselves, “What’s the best that can happen?” and finally go after the scary things they’ve been holding back on. That right there meant ✨️ everything ✨️ to me.

I also got to meet the owner of @pagesandvolumesdc, the onsite bookstore/bookseller, and learned they recently celebrated two years in business. What a beautiful milestone.

Bonus: QT with my sister, who was truly the perfect assistant. 5 stars!! 

THEN, to top it all off, later that night, I went to PJs and Book Baes, a romance writers/readers event that was just too cute. We made custom shea butter scents with @buttahbby, enjoyed champagne and desserts, and got to hear from a panel of fan-favorite authors.

Overall, CCLF felt like a celebration of books, Black joy, romance, community, and all the little moments that make this author life so special.

Definitely a weekend I won’t soon forget.
