Letter from the editor
Happy new year!  I hope 2023 finds you happy, healthy, and rested.  I spent my holidays sleeping, spending time with friends, and catching up on great shows.I look forward to this new year.  At the top of my list is completing some writing projects so they’re ready for submission to my agent and eventually publication.  I also look forward to the release of two books this year, Malaika, Carnival Queen and The Antiracist Kitchen: 21 Stories (and recipes).

Best wishes,

Nadia L. Hohn

Black History Month (February)
Each February, I have the pleasure of presenting to several schools, libraries, and events.  My school day presentations are almost full, but I have availability to present evenings and some Saturdays in Black History month.  I’m also scheduling presentations in March and May 2023.  If interested, please contact me for my 2022-2023 presentation package.
