Facilitating a book discussion with @authorwaderouse was such a great experience! We had a natural rapport together, and the audience brought their own positive energy. "That's What Friends Are For," is going to be another best seller. I can see it. Shout out to @schulerbooks for pairing me with Wade for a wonderful event.
In case you missed my Instagram story, I get to talk with @authorwaderouse about his exciting new book on March 3rd! If you're in the Grand Rapids area, join us at Schuler Books at 6:30pm. Can't wait to see you there!
📚 Join us for a webinar with Rev. R.R. Tavárez, the author of Drag Queen Preacher!
Including themes of his Afro-Latino culture, queerness, faith, doubt, and a radical emergence as a drag performer, this minister takes us on a journey.
Through the elegance of poetry and prose we are invited into a beautiful reckoning where we find our story, refuse to be invisible, and dare to become more human.

It’s easy to leave the uncomfortable truth outdoors, even at the cost of another’s dignity. Here’s a poem I don’t share often, but felt timely today.

Tonight's book reading and open mic with the @grandriverpoetrycollective was an inviting experience. I enjoyed not only sharing my book, but also hearing inspiring words from Grand Rapids writers on the mic. Bravo.
What are your hopes for justice in the world for 2026? What peace do you need in your own soul as you enter the new year?

This year I was part of a powerful line-up of speakers at a conference that has shaped a big part of my career and service to my community. CCDA held its national conference in Grand Rapids a few weeks ago, but I'm still processing the opportunity I was given on the Friday morning of November 6th to share a part of my story and passion.
I could hardly be more excited! @schulerbooks is one of my favorite book stores and I'll be doing a reading and signing at their store in Ann Arbor October 29th. Register today and let's have a wonderful night of storytelling and poetry together! Link to the event will be in my bio.

"I have always wondered what you carry in your backseat," said no one to me ever. And yet, here I am showing you a box of New Century hymnals and a giant honey blonde wig in a tote bag. This is my life today.
