Just signed with Harvard’s DKP to build civics curriculum for English Learners across MA.

Only 4 teachers statewide—one of them is me. 🙋🏽‍♀️

Newcomers, emerging, developing—all getting lessons that work.

Are you happy? I am. 💛

A passage from Our Missing Hearts stopped me this week. Margaret discovers a voice inside her she didn’t know she had.

I’m still discovering mine, too.
Quietly. Slowly.
In Portuguese first.
Always in Portuguese first.

📚 Submission Update:

Four rejections.
Two full requests.
A whole lot of hope.

That’s where I am with Not Guilty today.

Some emails sting. Some spark. But all of them mean the story is out there, being read, being considered. That’s something.

Onward. ✨
