 I want you both to really follow your dreams in this world. Go do the thing that you end up loving most because we can do anything we love, knowing that if we be true to our self  as a writer is everything. 

I think were going to definitely have to do a collaboration together when your ready because I love seeing this phenomenal work you have on a level of showing your cultural backgrounds within this book.

Along with being able to put yourself out there and write for kids to read, while still going to school is the same thing I'm doing.
