It’s an honor to have #FreshBananaLeaves as a finalist for LA Times Book Prizes. I’m accompanied by amazing writers & loved seeing the representation of scientists of color in this category 💫 Excited to return to Tongva lands (LA), the lands that raised me. 🍃 #freshbananaleaves https://t.co/cRQSSpw2oW
