Stimulating conversation & delicious dinner with long-time friend #MichaelJortner at #LolaRoseRestaurant in Palm Springs. We talk about everything from writing/publishing & why cable news keeps missing the mark, to #Madonna & #Beyince (stet)

My friend Stuart is co-hosting today (May 17) a food drive benefiting LGBTQ Community Center of the Desert. Please see the flyer for details. The need is real. #fooddesert #fooddrive #lgbtqcenter

I saw my first live episode of “The Patty Cakes Show” on March 26. Totally fun, funny, relatable — all heart! #palmspringsstyle #talkshow

I love living in a community where live flowers & plants are accessible year-round outdoors. #rose #greenthumb #garden #desertlandscape #flora

To meet & engage with Ms. #JeniferLewis (the real conversation occurred in the “green” room) was special and a great start to Black History Month festivities in Palm Springs. Thank you for launching OUR VOICES, OUR STORIES: CELEBRATING BLACK AUTHORS. #blackwriters #BlackExcellence

My first experience. So good. I’m starting to see more fiction set in Africa & loving it. :-)
