My office today 📸 #WorkingHard

Me after a day consisting of one news interview, giving one quote to USA Today, and filming one podcast episode:

What are some things you’re passionate about? Personally, I love reading and writing. I’m a professional writer & spoken word artist who didn’t find out until college that I’m dyslexic. Now I run a program designed to bring culturally relevant books directly to the hood by building library boxes and placing them in Buffalo’s most historically excluded communities. It’s a distribution stream for local authors (I buy books from Buffalo authors) and direct access for the community. ❤️📚 #BuffaloBooks

Being snowed in is a valid reason to turn that morning smoothie into a morning wine slushy

Here are a bunch of unsolicited photos relevant to what I do. I’m the first poet laureate in the history of my city and a (newly) full time artist, activist and literary advocate.

Can my artist and entrepreneur cousins check in?? 👀👀

living in Buffalo where we’re enjoying a lovely snow storm + The urge to redecorate my bedroom + Finding out that I suck at both wallpaper and cutting in a straight line = One frustrating ass day 😅🥲

Y’all need to stop 😭😭😭😭 we just got here! The app creator prob never had this many people on the app at the same time 😂😂😂

This mural 🥹😭😭 My favorite mural in my city and not just because I’m in it (in the middle)

…maybe because I’m in it.

Y’all letting white people in here? Cause you see what they did to twitter.

Me right now
