Saw this man sitting by himself at a Waffle House in Midway, Florida.
So I said hello and asked him what he was doing with that money.
I met this Yale-law school trained writer at Yaddo. I felt so blessed to meet him. He is an attorney- turned essayist and now memoirist. Spare but devastatingly beautiful writing.
Five years ago, I began writing a book on identity and belonging, unsure where it would take me.
That book became a memoir about race, class, family, religion, and the West.
I'm so excited to announce that BROWN BOY: A Memoir is almost here.

"There is no single variable that explains why this terrible massacre occurred, and so there will be no single answer. But this doesn’t mean that there is nothing we can do," @JessicaEStern and @megankmcbride write for @time.

I'm showing @TrinityMovie - released by @BayViewEnt1 - at the former House of Affirmation where a lot of clergy abuse took place. Including my own. Tickets can be purchased here.

So kind of you. Thank you. I’m glad you found it helpful.
My undergrad work was focused on Counterterrorism and human rights @JohnJayCollege and the best book I’ve ever read on the topic remains “Terror in the Name of God” by the brilliant @JessicaEStern 2/11 books.google.com/books/about…

Inspired by @jameskimmeljr, whose work looks at cravings of revenge as addiction, we’re developing a digital app with a curriculum that encourages and tracks disengagement from extremism, including features intended to help users self-moderate their emotional wellness.

Thank you so much. Means a lot to me to hear that Denial helped you.
"This is the worst impact of severe trauma: the victim loses faith in the evidence of her own senses." By @JessicaEStern in Denial: A Memoir of Terror. This line made me feel human and seen and understood.

I am reminded of Sun Tzu's dictum that one should "build a golden bridge for your enemy to retreat across." Unity, resolution, and continued pressure on Russia are necessary, but saving #Ukraine also requires making it easier for Moscow to reverse course.
