🌟 Interview with Sami Miranda 🌟

Discover the inspiring journey of poet Sami Miranda as he shares his passion for poetry, the power of storytelling, and the significance of representation. Here are some highlights from the interview:

📚 "My latest book, 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘌𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦, came about as I discovered a thread in my work that focused on preserving the stories of others. I believe in keeping memories and conversations alive through my poetry, so that no one is forgotten."

🖋️ "My journey into poetry didn't start with my first poem for the high school yearbook. It began when I started teaching and decided to share my love for poetry with my students. They insisted that I share my own writing, and that's where the journey truly started."

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to @holaculturadc for featuring Sami Miranda and shedding light on his powerful artistic journey. Make sure to check out the full interview for more insights and inspiration! 🎉🎉

🌸 This #mothersday, we have the perfect opportunity to pay homage to the incredible women who have shaped our lives. 🌷 @lisasolod's captivating book, 𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘩, casts light on the profound impact of Alzheimer's disease on the intricate bond between a mother and her daughter. 💕 It serves as a beautiful reminder to treasure cherished memories, embrace the present moment, and draw strength from the everlasting love shared between mothers and their children.

🌼 As we celebrate Mother's Day, let's take a moment to ponder the powerful messages that 𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘩 conveys. It teaches us that even in the face of adversity, the connection between a mother and child remains unbreakable. 🌺 May this special day be filled with gratitude, love, and appreciation for all the extraordinary mothers out there. 🌸💖
