IRAE 2021 was held in Florida. The event was a legacy event that my friend Kassanna refused to let die, as a result she has now been presenting this event annually.

Kassanna and Denise Williams Cherry work together to hold this event each year. Hundreds of readers and authors who write diverse romance attend.
2021 was the first year that I personally was not able to attend. (Sniffles)
This event is about more than #writing, #books and #self-publishing. It's about a community of women (and men) who love #books coming together to support each other and champion diverse #books.
When I started in the world of #indiepublishing there weren't resources like this one. We had Romance Writers of America (RWA) which didn't recognize many of us or our #writing at that time.
Howevere, with events like IRAE we diverse writers have been able to discover diverse #readers who want to #read the #books we #write.
I'm so proud of #Kassanna for fighting to keep this event alive! And thanks to Denise for keeping Kassanna right where she needs to be when she needs to be there!!!
See you all next year!
