I kicked off pub week by waking up early to go on Good Morning Americaand present Glory Edim’s Well-Read Black Girl with a $10,000 check from the Fifteen Percent Pledge, celebrated the release of Wildflower with many friends at a party co-hosted by the amazing Diane von Furstenberg, visited The View to tell Whoopi Goldberg how she literally paid my rent (and didn’t know it!), had my first in person conversation event with the talented Huma Abedin at the iconic Brooklyn Museum before jumping coasts to catch up with Kerry Washington at another book event where I got to see so many of your smiling faces! I’m sure I’m forgetting the other 5,000 things that happened this week (Chatted with Rachel Hollis on her podcast! Ebony! CNN with Zain Asher! ABC News Live!), and I can’t wait to properly sit down and let it all soak in…

But I couldn’t let this week slip by without saying a sincere THANK YOU. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement, support and glee with me! Thank you for everyone who is reading/has read/will read Wildflower. This moment is a special one and I will cherish it forever.

Thank you to everyone who came out to our book events this week and waited in line for me to sign them - I truly enjoyed getting to meet you all and hearing YOUR stories. We’re getting ready to announce a few more events, so please watch my website for those. In the meantime, you can order signed copies of Wildflower from Reparations Club & Rizzoli while supplies last.

More to come very soon!
