� NEW YORK, I’M COMING HOME!
Brooklyn raised me. New York shaped me. And now I’m coming back to celebrate a story that started long before I ever became an author.
On November 17, 2026, my second book, Sometimes Sorry Isn’t Enough, officially arrives. It’s the next chapter of The Reasons and Apologies series, and if you’ve been following my journey, you already know there’s a whole lot of life between these pages.
This book is about family, love, survival, accountability, and learning that sometimes the apology you deserve is the one you’ll never receive.
And what better place to celebrate than the city that witnessed so much of my story?
� MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16 | NYC PRESS DAY
I’ll be kicking off release week with press appearances, interviews, and conversations about the book, the journey, and everything that brought me here.
� TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17 | BROOKLYN
An intimate, complimentary book release dinner. Limited seating. Invitations available by request.
� WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18 | NYC PRESS + MEET-AND-GREET
I’ll be spending the first part of the day doing press before heading to my NYC book meet-and-greet! Come see me, take pictures, talk books, and celebrate this next chapter.
I’ll be in NYC November 16–19, and I can’t wait to see some familiar faces.
The city that helped write my story gets to celebrate the next chapter with me. �
