Quentin Tarantino: “I don’t know what a writing adjective is. I always use acting adjectives. To me writing’s almost the same thing because you’re acting like a character and that’s what acting is all about, the moment.” #screenwriting

It is officially the ✨first anniversary✨ of my book #MakingtheLatinoSouth. It has been an unbelievable year getting to share the stories of the Latino South with audiences & readers. Many parts of being an academic are hard but the chance to share this work has been all joy. 🥰
