I was really fortunate to interview David Mura about A STRANGER’S JOURNEY: RACE, IDENTITY, AND NARRATIVE CRAFT IN WRITING. The interview if up on GrubStreet Blog. I highly recommend reading David’s important book. It challenges us to think critically about the way we teach craft and its crucial relationship to identity. I learned a lot from it and was really inspired by the content.
Grateful for fiction editor Elena Britos’ thoughtful questions in this Nashville Review interview about A Kind of Solitude and my writing process.
Huge thanks to the 2040 Review editors for having me as a featured author in their print issue, which was launched at the 2019 Muse and the Marketplace conference. This is a wonderful, necessary publication for people of color by writers of color, so please make sure to support them.
I’m very excited about the following events with the amazing Cristina García, put together by Brown University’s Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America. I’m very much looking forward to reading and having a conversation with her.
My story collection got a very nice shoutout in the Boston Globe’s book headlines! The wonderful Nina MacLaughlin said the collection “braids the personal and the political” and “evokes the magnetic forces that pull us toward something and keep us bound.” 🇨🇺️❤️
I was delighted to do this interview with Marva Hinton for her wonderful podcast, which has previously interviewed authors such as Edwidge Danticat, James McBride, Kaitlyn Greenidge, Jacqueline Woodson, Daniel José Older, and Angela Flournoy.
I was recently interviewed by all around exceptional human Christopher Romaguera for the Ploughshares blog. It was a pleasure speaking with Chris about my collection and my relationship to writing and Cuba 🇨🇺️
Excited and honored that A Kind Of Solitude is Cambridge College Reads’ next selection!
