  • Two weeks ago, during a packed event for the South African book community, I was asked by one of my wonderful book fans when I will start writing about (in my words) Black women frolicking through fields of butterflies. I promised her that I would. But as long as there are still themes we haven't explored enough in fiction, I will keep bringing those to the fore. Barely two weeks later, at least nine (9) women have been found dead in a span of days sparking renewed fear and a global outcry on violence against women - https://lnkd.in/eCewSzH2 I had been planning an indulgent post filled with gratitude about just how incredible the book tour in collaboration with @jonathanballpublishers x @glamour_sa, and @openbookfest Book Festival (it was amazing!) but in light of this heartbreaking news against women coming out of South Africa on the heels of a book tour specifically highlighting the plight of women, I will share a summary much later down the line. Right now, please get up to speed with this story 💔 As for writing stories about Black women frolicking through fields of butterflies, more on that soon... I promise. #women #genderbasedviolence #womensupportingwomen #safety

  • It was an absolute pleasure going on the Amsterdam Afro-Diaspora Art Tour – Zuidoost Stories & Studio Visit led by @gracia.tenda in collaboration with @womenintravel_cic and supported by @tuicarefoundation. I got to experience a different, more intimate and diverse side of Amsterdam while learning more about its specific African and Surinamese heritage. Book this special tour next time you’re in town ❤️ -> https://www.womenintravelcic.com/entrepreneurship/women-led-tours/amsterdam-afro-diaspora-art-tour/ Here’s more information: This small-group tour takes you inside Afro-diasporic museums, heritage spaces, public art, murals and working studios that many visitors never find on their own. Along the way, you’ll hear powerful stories of identity, migration and creativity, enjoy a Surinamese-Indonesian coffee break with Dawet, and meet a Congolese artist shaping Amsterdam’s contemporary art scene. #womenintravel #womenled #tour #tourism #amsterdam

  • October 2022. A photo I thought I’d share in due time alongside the @deadline announcement. This photo is a reminder of the most incredible moment of my career as an author to date. The limited series adaptation rights for @ineverymirror and @naacp-nominated @notenough.book were bought by an amazing actress ❤️ and her production company, backed by a major studio in 2021-2022. Years later, the studio ended up not greenlighting our project. But what an incredible moment to witness my work transcend and connect so deeply across the ocean. I also learned a lot through the process. So I’m sharing this post with utmost gratitude, more wisdom, and renewed belief. Everyone who has ever reached out wishing for an adaptation can manifest it alongside me 🙏🏽 The IN EVERY MIRROR SHE’S BLACK duology and its universe are rapidly expanding with the addition of its novella series THE MEN. So screenwriting material for years ❤️ This means my #SpeakItReceiveIt affirmation for this week is to proactively and creatively bring both @bitterhoneybook and my duology universe to the big screen someday. 🙌🏾🌟 Because I already believe it. Film/TV rights through my screen agent @wme 🖤 #bookadaptation #bookadaptations #hollywood #booktoscreen i

October 2022. A photo I thought I’d share in due time alongside the @deadline announcement. This photo is a reminder of the most incredible moment of my career as an author to date. The limited series adaptation rights for @ineverymirror and @naacp-nominated @notenough.book were bought by an amazing actress ❤️ and her production company, backed by a major studio in 2021-2022. Years later, the studio ended up not greenlighting our project. But what an incredible moment to witness my work transcend and connect so deeply across the ocean. I also learned a lot through the process. So I’m sharing this post with utmost gratitude, more wisdom, and renewed belief. Everyone who has ever reached out wishing for an adaptation can manifest it alongside me 🙏🏽 The IN EVERY MIRROR SHE’S BLACK duology and its universe are rapidly expanding with the addition of its novella series THE MEN. So screenwriting material for years ❤️ This means my #SpeakItReceiveIt affirmation for this week is to proactively and creatively bring both @bitterhoneybook and my duology universe to the big screen someday. 🙌🏾🌟 Because I already believe it. Film/TV rights through my screen agent @wme 🖤 #bookadaptation #bookadaptations #hollywood #booktoscreen i
