#IndianLovePoems – the Launch

I cannot believe I got a book. This has been the dream since I was eleven. I wanted to be a writer or a ballerina.

Never mind I was living on the rez with no ballerina classes in sight.

But this is a dream come true – excuse the cliche – and I wanted to hella celebrate this. I know I was supposed to be humble as it ‘s only my first book but fuck that on so many levels. It took so much to even get here that I wanted to go big. We planned a big event at the Gordon Tootoosis Nīkānīwin Theatre. I had my cousin T-Rhyme host the night (as she is also the cover model) and my niece Dakota Ray Hebert graciously did an opening act for me (she’s hilarious). My other cousin Breanna photographed the event (my heart!) and I even had some raunchy macaroons custom made for me by Little Bird.

We had a packed house.

There was so much laughter and love that night. We grinned, blushed, read, giggled some more, and it was everything I wanted.

I am blessed.
