I just finished recording the adapted version of my book into a YA.

And part of adapting it, we decided that we're gonna take my journals from when I was a teenager and sort of go through them and put them in different parts of the book.

Like there was a journal entry where I was like, police do not transform or heal our communities, like when I was 16 years old.

I opened up Patrice Cullors' book, When They Call You a Terrorist.

What could they have been but stardust to accomplish all of that?
