I’m late to say my thank you’s, but I was recently nominated for the Utopian of the Year award at this year’s UtopYA Con Awards. To explain this award, I’ll pull an excerpt from the nominees list:
This award celebrates the person in our community who embodies the values and tenets of utopYA — education, collaboration, inspiration — all year long.
I’m honored. Thank you for those silent warriors who nominated me. I’m grateful that I can give back and make such a difference in your lives.
That means I’m officially a UtopYA Con Nominee. Fun stuff.
Speaking of, make sure you join me for the UtopYA Con Welcome Party on Wednesday, June 17. The invitation is open to everyone who has a UtopYA Con ticket, and you can come see how to make the most of the conference in a chill environment. You’ll get to meet veteran authors and bloggers who have been there before. I can almost guarantee you’ll walk out of there with at least one new friend.
And as for the awards ceremony on Saturday night… I don’t know what I’ll wear yet, but I plan to go over-the-top with my awards dress. I’m talkin’ curls, flowing gown, maybe even heels…
No. Not quite that much. You win, Rihanna.
