A Dream Coming True...

LeVar Burton, one of my heroes, read my story “Those Fantastic Lives” on his incredible podcast today. The whole thing is humbling and wonderful and just so incredible. I feel unworthy truthfully, but I’m so, so grateful for this, well, gift.

Stories saved me. They gave me a place that I could understand—that I could escape to.

For me, LeVar Burton reading my story is just something that I will never ever forget.

I hope you’ll give the story a listen if you have time.

A couple of people asked me about my collection from which the story comes, which came out in 2021. You can order a copy from wherever books are sold, but I recommend ordering directly from the publisher.
