Beyond excited to share that I was awarded a fellowship from the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts to work on my new novel! I'll join other writers, visual artists and composers at VCCA later this year. Having dedicated time, space and support to focus on the generative stage of writing is invaluable. I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity—especially given the deeply personal origin of my new project.
As a spokeswoman for the National Hellenic Museum, I speak about the history of Chicago's Greek American community and the Taste of Greektown festival. Opa!
I joined Art and Bobby on "Where Are They Now" for a fun conversation about my novel, writing process and a bit of Greek history - plus a surprise call from my Greek language teacher.
Greek food culture is a big part of my novel, so I was excited for this chat with Andrea and Bruce about Greek cuisine, the right way to say "gyro" and Chicago's Taste of Greektown festival.
