Paris was thrilled beyond words to have been awarded a WestWords/Copyright Agency Cultural Fund Fellowship 2023. With this Fellowship, Paris' dreams have crossed the threshold from being merely wishful hopes to all of a sudden becoming very real! Paris will be using this incredible opportunity to polish her debut collection of poetry, ready to release into the world in the not-too-distant-future.
