I grew up in Cabot Cove, and a lot of us feel she exploited our massive murder problem for profit. Maybe keep that in mind.

It's funny how as adults we act the same way our students do when we are frustrated or need to disconnect. It's the very behaviors we condemn in our classrooms that we display during PD or staff meetings. It was wild to watch.

The carpal tunnel is worth it. When a school picks What Lane? as it’s “One School, One Book Read”, the least I can do is sign 450 book plates for each copy of my book. My only doubt? “Thin or thick Sharpie? That is the question.”

I want to become a librarian so that I can make sure the black kids can have a space where they get to be who they are without someone trying to fix something about them.

You know what I do when my kids keep checking out the same graphic novels over and over again? Buy more because it’s their library and that’s what they like to read.

All Boys Aren’t Blue has been banned or challenged in 21 states. It’s also been tied to several pieces of new legislation including the Don’t Say Gay Bill. I’ve beat 3 criminal complaints as well. I’m gonna keep writing queer stories And fighting these laws. F*** erasure

Black students don't need saviors. They need educators who acknowledge and understand the uniqueness of their experiences.
