I had such a wonderful time at the launch for Vidal. Thank you so much to Koffler Arts for sponsoring the event, to Josh Heumann for organizing and curating the art so beautifully, to the whole team including Jimena Perez for publicizing, and making me so special.

Thank you so much to Gary Barwin for being so awesome. It was also incredible to hear him perform a Sephardi song, and to hear him read and to be interviewed by him. What a privilege and a joy.

Heather Wood, Dani Arieli, At Bay Press and Rupert and Danielle McNally of Ben McNally Books for all being so amazing. Also thank you to everyone who came, it was such a full house :)

Thank you so much to Sally Keslassy for making the amazing Sephardic sweets, and to my amazing mom for making her special Sephardic cake.

I was so grateful and emotional to see the original art from my graphic novel Vidal on display in Koffler Arts gallery. What a dream come true.

It was such a magical experience, I feel like I'm still floating today. Thank you so, so much again to everyone. I feel so lucky to be part of such an incredible community, and to know and be friends with so many amazing people. Thank you so much to the amazing friends, authors, artists and family who came. I love you.
