Author's Journey


Before the Book, There Was a Post
Before A Family Full of Love existed, there was a Facebook post. It was June 2, 2020 — a moment when the world felt impossibly heavy. I never imagined that something I wrote from the heart would resonate the way it did. But that outpouring of support gave me the courage to keep writing — and eventually, to create a book where every child can see themselves reflected. Every journey has a beginning. For this one, it started with a single post.

Better Late Than Never: The Story Behind A Family Full of Love (And Why I Finally Started This Blog) - Representation Matters!
I'll be upfront with you: this website has existed for two years, and this is my very first blog post. I know! But I've been busy — sharing my book at schools, doing read-alouds, and connecting with families who needed to hear that their story matters. There were always stories I wanted to tell, moments worth writing down. So here I am, finally starting from the very beginning. Better late than never, right?
