"who you feel comfortable asking for a blurb says a lot about who you are, who you want to be, and how you want the world to see you." <-- that made me smile.

Love that San Juan is the first site for the launch!

Dear Alicia, I so loved this piece. Even as I read you, the same feelings are keeping me up at night. Indeed, at some point the process engendered so much anxiety that I had to take time off from it.

Funny fact, when envisioning blurbs, yours was one of the names I desired for my cohort, but when I realized you were working on your own book, I refrained from asking, well aware of the amount of work pressure you’re already under.

Thank you for making unease and vulnerability digestible.
