I got the news this morning and I’ve been smiling all day. Happily Ever Afters was nominated for an NAACP Image Award in the “Outstanding Literary Work – Youth/Teens” category!! I am so grateful to see my book about a Black girl learning to love herself recognized in this way. And as you can see, I’m in incredible company!

This is an author bucket list moment, and I am going to be pinching myself for a long time. What an honor!
