Loyalty Bookstore
I’m Coming to Loyalty Bookstore — Let’s Connect on June 17th!
I’m so excited to share that I’ll be at Loyalty Bookstore in Washington, DC on Monday, June 17th for a special author signing event for my latest book, Drink Water and Mind Your Business!
This book has been such a labor of love—an invitation to all of us (but especially my Black women and femmes) to set boundaries, protect our peace, and choose ourselves without apology. And now I get to celebrate it in person with you!
This event is all about connection—me getting to meet YOU, sign your copy, and share in the joy, the laughs, and the real talk. We’re keeping it cute, community-centered, and full of vibes. ✨
Here’s what I can share so far:
Where: Loyalty Bookstore – Washington, DC
When: Monday, June 17, 2025
Time: [Coming soon!]
RSVP details coming soon—stay tuned!
Whether you’ve already read the book or you’re just curious, come through. Let’s take some pics, talk about boundaries, maybe sip some water (because you know I’m gonna remind you), and just enjoy being in the room together.
More details are on the way, but I wanted to make sure you could mark your calendar now. I can’t wait to see your beautiful faces there!

🎉 Book Baby Shower for Drink Water & Mind Your Business
Happy Baby Shower to me—well, my Book Baby anyway!
My second baby, Drink Water & Mind Your Business, officially drops on May 13th, and I want to celebrate with you in person at V-NO on May 16th!
Yes, we’re calling it a Book Baby Shower—because I don’t have children made of flesh and bone, but this baby? She’s made of paper, ink, and glue, and she deserves to be celebrated!
