Jen Dary: I Believe in Everything, Philly

Published in #books, #friendship, #personal, #photos

In early March I had the privilege of moderating a book launch event for my friend Jen Dary, promoting her book I Believe in Everything.

Jen read from her book, I got to ask her a few questions, and then Jen fielded a few from the audience.

I got to meet Jen’s friend Siri Wade, a former Upstatement team member. She left Upstatement before I joined, but it was fun to see she had brought an original Upstatement tote to the event.
