We Need Diverse Books Mentorship

I am so pleased to be asked to be part of the We Need Diverse Books Mentorship program. When I began my journey into writing and illustrating picture books, I was lucky enough to apply and win a New England SCBWI mentorship with Vermont picture book author illustrator Ashley Wolff, who shares my love of printmaking. Her encouragement, guidance, and feedback helped me launch my professional picture book writing and illustration career. I am so excited to help give back to the kid lit community in such a meaningful way. I feel that every child ought to see themselves and their story reflected in books, and that is why its so important to help mentor diverse authors and illustrators. Thanks so much to We Need Diverse Books for asking me to be a mentor this year! I am looking forward to the opportunity!
