If youβre interviewing a disabled author for a #DisabilityPrideMonth piece:
Ask a question about writing craft. Ask a question about storytelling without making it about representation. Ask a silly question!
We are artists too and can speak about more than disability rep. #booksky

            In college, I lived on the first floor of a dorm where a lot of football players lived. I asked them if they could inform me when the halftime show started, and they came and knocked on my door so I didnβt miss BeyoncΓ©. I think about them every Super Bowl. π₯°
