In May, I had the huge honour of presenting The Possibility of Tenderness at Calabash International Literary Festival, in Jamaica, my island home. To have been invited to take part in this vital and inspiring festival was one thing, but to be named “featured writer” was something else!

Very many thanks to @kwame.dawes, @justinehenzell, Drew, and the entire @calabashfestival team for making it such a meaningful experience. And #BlessUp to all my fine writer friends—longtime and brand new—who made it what it was.
