Alliah L. BIG TUNE OUT NOW! Agostini

I’m still pinching myself. @Essence was (and still is!) like the holy grail to me. I grew up leafing through the pages of my mother’s issues, admiring the incredible Black women on its pages. Humbled and grateful to have my story shared here. essence.com/culture/author…

@Teresa5998 You are so so generous!!! Thank you for including Big Tune and so many other BCHQ books in the mix!!!!!! 💕💕💕💕

Halloween has become one of my favorite days. Seeing kids more excited about books (many written by friends), rather than candy, is priceless. One child said they’d been waiting all year for this. Me, too, little neighbor, me, too!🥹🥰📚🍫🎃👻

@Chefelrod Let’s go!!!!

Tristan had a blast at library storytime. He cooed when we got down to play with the other babies. We also found A FAMILY LOOKS LIKE LOVE at our local branch! Surreal I can go somewhere, find MY book, and share it with the sweetest little boy in the whole wide wide.
