My baby is 1 month old!!! 🪔🌱🥳 And what a month it's been! A steep learning curve as new parents, but also filled with unspeakable joy. Love like this...there really are no words. THANK YOU to all the friends and family who have reached out to support us with everything from homemade food to advice on breastfeeding. Most of all, thank you for showering our little Diya Olive Beanie with affection. It means the world. 🙏 The journey continues!

Sadly, I missed yesterday and felt awful but cluster feeding an 11-day-old newborn is hard!😅 Anyway...re: Day 4, I will say that reading Amy Tan as a teenager opened new worlds to me. The Joy Luck Club spoke to me as a daughter of immigrants and made me start thinking perhaps one day I might be able to share stories from my background too. I identified strongly with June and the courageous immigrant women in her life.

📢 Day 3 #STANDUPFORAAPI Call to Action! 💪

I am an ally. Being an ally is about solidarity. Day 2 of #standupforaapi. This is my daughter Diya. She's nine days old. Why do I #standupforaapi? Because I want her to grow up in a world where safety is a non-negotiable human right, not dependent on background. Onward, together.

This is important. AAPI authors and bookstagrammers and their allies have come together in solidarity to raise awareness and to stop the ongoing violence and hate incidents targeting the AAPI communities.

So, I've been MIA but with good reason...
