Ooh bbs it’s my BIRTHDAY MONTH! Are you glad I was born? Do you appreciate what I put out in the world? Then here are five ways you can help me celebrate!

1. If you haven’t yet bought my book, buy my book!!! #BodymindsReimagined is an accessible, critical text on how black women’s speculative fiction represents #disability, #race & #gender. You can buy it 30% off from @DukePress using code E18BODYM.

2. Already have my book? You can buy a copy for a friend!
3. Already read my book? You can leave me a five star birthday review on Goodreads (goodreads.com/book/show/3501…) & Amazon (amazon.com/dp/0822370883/…)

4. You can send me a kind email (google my work email address) or tweet letting me know how my academic or public intellectual work has helped or otherwise positively influenced you! These sorts of messages mean the world to me.

5. You can donate in my name to any of the following amazing WOC- & QTPOC-led/focused non-profit organizations: @AbortionFunds, @AboutFreedomInc, @audrelorde, or @BYP_100

I can’t wait to celebrate my birthday (actually on the 29th) all month long! June is also #PrideMonth so it’s like I was meant to have a monthlong big queer celebration of myself every year. 🦄😜
