Loved listening to this inspiring and sweet conversation. 💛 Creating storybooks to help children navigate challenges is such a thoughtful and loving way to support families. Debbie, my daughter is also 11, and we're definitely taking it one day at a time. Thanks so much to both of you for sharing your encouraging words. ❤️

Steena, thank you so much for listening and sharing your perspective. ❤️

This is new territory for me, and your encouragement means a lot.

Also, am I remembering correctly that you've written a children's book?

Aw you did a great job! So sincere and honest. 🥰💕

And yes, my published picture book is Lupita’s Brown Ballet Slippers drawn from my own childhood experiences as a Latina dancer. ✨

You have the most awesome and interesting background. Theatre and dance are so different than the experiences I've been exposed to.

I find it absolutely fascinating!

That’s so kind of you to say. 💛 I’ve been really lucky to have those experiences. It definitely shaped how I see and tell stories.😊
