Hi!! I write across genres and mediums whether that’s a middle grade novel or a romantic comedy screenplay.

A collage of pictures on old worn paper. On the collage: a sticker that reads orchard life of the only life, a sticker that reads shine like a sunflower. A Star of David necklace, a picture of a tween biracial girl (half black and half white) with thick curly hair. A dictionary page, a stamp with pomegranates on it , and old baseball ticket , a songbird, an elderly woman, and a black and white image of a black woman holding a suitcase. A tree of life is also pictured and little star stickers decorate the page.
A collage with a mixed race family individually picture with their character names: Asher, Bianca, Cora, Levy and Blueberry the bluebird. Pictures of apples, old letters in a box, an old picture of black students learning the Hebrew alphabet, sunflowers, old family photos, a stained glass window with red and pink tulips. A print of a 1939 zodiacal planting calendar.
A collage of photos in two rows. Top Row: a biracial tween with brown curly hair and image of baked goods in a bakery window display. Middle row: a card that says the magic happens right where you stand on a brown desk and an image of Times Square in New York. Bottom row: a full moon, and the image of a door with a closed sign.
Collage of pictures. Centered around the image of a black tween. Top images: Gold sparkles, a plant being planted, a purple and blue galaxy image. Bottom images: cupcakes on a stand, a closed sign, a map with a red x.
Green starlike succulents with red center hues.
