Favorite place to read a book: I listen to audiobooks, so either listening in my room while working or on my daily walks around downtown NY.

The moment I knew I wanted to become an author: Not until I met my literary agent, Joy in 2015. Her belief in my potential is the reason this book exists.
Hardback, paperback, ebook or audiobook: Audiobook! I am a very slow reader, and an auditory learner, so listening to audiobooks and drawing is something I’ve done since I was little.
The last book I read: If Beale Street Could Talk- James Baldwin
