Hi, hi!
It’s the same ole, same ole, isn’t it? But hey, we have vaccines, boosters, flu vaccines and many options that can help us stay alive. It’s up to us on how much common sense we have to want to stay alive, don’t you think?

Instead, I thought to give you some pub news for my book, Khabaar: An Immigrant Journey. The print galleys are here! What does that mean, you ask?

Why not in a pandemic? Why not, eh? So, yup, the pages showed up on my birthday —my second in this wonderful pandemic—and it was a treat. Here it is below alongside Diaspora Co’s amazing kitchen towels (you need to get them stat and I’ll talk more about them in the next newsletter).
