I took my daughter to the bookstore. We combed through all the sections and couldn’t find any books with black or brown faces. Instead of complaining about it, I decided to write a book. Just like that. I just decided to do it even though I knew nothing about the book publishing process. Little did I know that was just the beginning of what would lead me to publish several books, expand my artistry, and be the creator of the Seattle Urban Book Expo.
