Congrats to JR and @facingproject!
Somehow I missed that the @LibraryJournal gave the audiobook of HILLBILLY QUEER a starred review! 💫📚🌈
Am I over the moon excited? Grab your rockets, we’re headed to infinity and beyond! 🚀 🌝
Extra special thanks to all who made it happen! 💛💛💛

Earlier this week, students from @uindy paired up w/ Frederick University students in Cyprus for a cross-cultural @FacingProject experience (1/2) . . .

The @uindy students did a fantastic job with The @FacingProject story performances at the Diversity Fair in downtown Nicosia, Cyprus. None of these students are writing majors or performers, but they brought it on stage! 🙌 ✍️💃 I was so proud of them! . . .

It was great to wake up this morning and see @FacingProject’s latest title, FACING SOCIAL JUSTICE IN SPORTS, in the headlines. Nice work, @AdamJKuban!
"Facing Social Justice in Sports" is comprised of 21 stories from athletes, coaches and sports media professionals battling and overcoming social justice obstacles. @SamJohnsonNews

Last day in studio probably until May. We are keeping our distance from each other and wiping down the equipment. We now have episodes recorded through the next three months and hope we can keep you entertained during quarantine.

I’ve spoken at 110 locations over the past few years, mostly high schools and colleges and libraries, but five years ago I did something I’d never done before—I spoke to 5th graders.

The LGBTQ+ community still finds itself facing hate crimes. With the attack on two lesbian women in London, we want to remind of the fear that lives with the #Pride. "According to the Anti-Violence Project, the severity of hate violence against LGBTQ people is increasing" @glaad
