I am so excited to announce that I am a The Highlights Foundation Renée Watson scholarship recipient! It’s been years since I’ve had dedicated time to write and write only (in a space that isn’t my apartment), and I can’t wait to hang out in a beautiful cabin to do so. ✨

What a month! I am beyond excited and humbled to be the recipient of a Highlights Foundation scholarship this year and for being sponsored by one of my favorite organizations-PJ Library! I can’t wait to learn and grow among so many professional’s that inspire me.

I just returned from a wonderful week ⁦The Highlights Foundation⁩ and am missing it already. If you’ve never been, you must go! Thank you so much, ⁦Renée Watson⁩, for making my visit possible with your generous scholarship! 🥰

I am overwhelmed to receive the encouragement and support of a 2024 Highlights Foundation Scholarship. Thank you The Highlights Foundation and Vivian Kirkfield. I’ll be attending Summer Camp for Writers, with high hopes and the deepest gratitude. Thank you for making a dream come true.

Proud to be a recipient of a The Highlights Foundation scholarship for online coursework!😊🎉💫

I can't express how wonderful the The Highlights Foundation is and my appreciation for the way they support #kidlit creators.

I'm grateful to be a recipient of an in-community retreat scholarship this summer. Looking forward to writing more fantastical stories! highlightsfoundation.org/2024/04/25/hig…

So grateful to receive this scholarship and excited to visit The Highlights Foundation next month, iA, for both a Muslim Storyteller retreat and a personal retreat to get a jump start on drafting my new YA Horror. Things have been A LOT, and I cannot express how much I need this! 💜💜💜
