For a month, I took SORDIDEZ on tour in the eastern United States, passing through New Hampshire, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington DC and North Carolina, before returning home to Frankfurt for the first-ever English speaking event hosted at my local bookshop, Büchergilde Buchhandlung & Galerie.

The experience was transformative and surreal, given my lifelong dream of becoming an author. It was such a pleasure to meet so many fans, friends, family members, and new people along the journey who expressed an interest in my book. I am so grateful for the outpouring of love and support from my community and from people who barely know me. I am especially privileged to have had Shingai Njeri Kagunda, Victor Manibo, and Karlo Yeager Rodriguez as writerkin who asked great questions about craft, characterization, and decolonial worldbuilding. The venues that hosted my events were perfect fits for me, and I was so happy that attendees supported them!
