Takes from day two at #NAISPoCC, which happens to be in Seattle this year! PoCC offers a variety of programming that allows people of color and allies in independent schools to come together, reflect on their individual experiences, and learn from each other.

Today, I talked with students at Seattle Girls School about writing stories and what it’s like to be an author! Their thoughtful questions inspired me and reminded me who I write for. Thanks for inviting me, Lydia! I love watching students realize they can do this work too.
