Pub week was the most joyous & intense week of my life, second only to the first week of my child’s life. The celebratory events were a gift after so much solitary time writing and worrying, but nothing has been more thrilling or satisfying than the connection with readers, who’ve sent me messages or come to meet me, telling me they felt less alone or more seen after reading my pages.
Here and now, thank you especially to @keithmcnallynyc & @balthazarny, @strandbookstore & @coluhenry, @claudette_nyc & @casamangia; @thegeorgian & @tejalxrao, @thegordinier & @nastassialopez of FUN HOUSE and @adamleonti @groveandvine @kianomoju @jikoni.la; and the team at @zibbypublishing & @zibbysbookshop for organizing these fab events and catching them in photos when I’ve been too tired to point, shoot or type.
Running on empty but heart extremely full ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥

Hard to feel celebratory in this climate of fear, cruelty + corruption, but my tiny tale or prevailing over a corporation to keep our home came out this week. Sharing this intimate story of home, familial love, collapse, eviction, forced departure, the imminent promise of Viva + the ultimate win of a lease in our name with the @nytimes was frankly terrifying, but writer D.W. Gibson and photographer @winnieow approached it with sensitivity at every one of my (many) wobbles.
Over this more-than-4-year saga I became a mother. No matter how much I love this home, and could never provide its like for my tiny family in New York were it not rent stabilized, I know that my true north will now forever be wherever my daughter is.
In these days when everything feels so precarious, I cling to love for my people (tho, admittedly, I also really love my old trinkets + handmedowns!) but I keep thinking of that meme “If you’re able to tuck a healthy child into a warm bed in a safe home, you have won the lottery in life,” + my mother had that good fortune here, + now I do...What a gift. What unexpected twists + turns. Our stage is the same but the city around us is utterly changed, unaffordable for most. My life in this place — city, apartment — is at once aligned with + totally different to that of my parents. Time marches on. As we’ve seen in just this week, we can take NOTHING for granted.
Love + hugs from the “quirky as can be” color palette 🩵💚💛💜

Out this week (from @zibbypublishing) is “Desire Feeds the Feast,” the debut memoir from James Beard Award-winning writer, @tarajiamorrell. Chronicling her upbringing amidst one of New York’s most celebrated wine families, the effervescent energy of late-‘90s / early aughts New York City, and elegantly exploring themes of food, family, identity and grief, Morrell weaves a lyrical, meandering tale of a life lived hungrily, a story about the beauty of our senses and the complexity of self-discovery. “Tarajia’s memoir reconciles clarity and confusion, loss and love, holding two opposing forces in both hands and abandoning neither,” notes Mother Tongue contributing editor @anjatyson, who also happens to be a dear friend of Morrell’s, “Tarajia’s most perseverant trait throughout this telling is her optimism, not evidenced by bright and sunny delusion but rather simply by her stubborn refusal to become anyone but herself, on her timeline. It inspires tremendous hope for the future, hers and mine alike.”

If you love to listen to memoirs as audiobooks, especially when they are read by the author, take note. ✍️ This stunning and deeply personal memoir is a beautifully written story that brims with hope, and shows that life can be absolutely beautiful—even if your path doesn’t look the way you thought it would.
DESIRE FEEDS THE FEAST is now available everywhere books are sold!

We absolutely loved this @voguemagazine piece deep diving into @tarajiamorrell's 5-9...or, as Tarajia puts it, "Forget 9-to-5. Mothering knows no schedule—often it feels more like 5-to-9 and everything in between."
The day featured was expertly captured by @ok__mccausland! 😍📸
