Go friend!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉💗💗💗💗

I just realized my son’s teacher is doing 2nd and 3rd grade at the same time. Like…switching throughout the day.

And…I’d quit. My brain doesn’t work like that. Bless her.

Oh, if I could have a talk with the me of last weekend who delayed washing and retwisting my son’s locs until this weekend so they’d be fresh for school! (Because I absolutely have no desire to do it. 😫)

And I still don’t know how to play! 🤷🏾‍♀️😂

8yo reading signs in the car:

Things I forgot until RIGHT NOW! The friggin portables!😂

2 years ago the world shut down a few weeks after my debut book launch party. Let’s hope the same doesn’t happen for my second book 🥹 it’ll be at our farmer’s market, outdoors & during my fav season: fall! There may be Egyptian treats! If you’re in NW Ohio, would love to see you

This was a really good webinar!

Houston folks! Mark your calendars! City Without Altar book launch is happening August 19th, 7pm at Garza Studios! Wine. Snacks. & a good time with special guest poets: Joy 🐎 Priest Candice D'Meza & afro-fabulist. Hope to see you!

So…if you’re a wfh parent, you take a nap at some point, right? 🫣Right?!

Where are all the Ashley’s? Around 4th grade, there were 5 of us total in my class. Now, I know like maybe 3 online.

🥰Teachers, I've gathered and uploaded my favorite *free* classroom resources to use alongside YOUR NAME IS A SONG, ABDUL'S STORY, and MOMMY'S KHIMAR. Find songs, study guides, lesson plans, crafts, videos, and more here: jamilahthewriter.com/educators

Sometimes I wonder what happened to all the other kids who were in the gifted program with me.

Are they thriving or also a pile of insecurities and awkward behaviors stacked under a trench coat?
