Jenna recently spoke out about seeing her parents for the first time in eight months. They had been in different parts of the country during the quarantine. All of the families got tested and then were able to reunite, just in time for Hal’s first birthday. It was only the second time that the grandparents got to see him.

A poem my mama @laurawbush sent me Legacies BY NIKKI GIOVANNI her grandmother called her from the playground “yes, ma’am” “i want chu to learn how to make rolls” said the old woman proudly but the little girl didn’t want to learn how because she knew even if she couldn’t say it that that would mean when the old one died she would be less dependent on her spirit so she said “i don’t want to know how to make no rolls” with her lips poked out and the old woman wiped her hands on her apron saying “lord these children” and neither of them ever said what they meant and i guess nobody ever does

Jenna shared, “It was great. We got COVID tests to go and see them. There they are holding their grandkids, and they’d only seen Hal maybe once… Mila is now waking up at 5 in the morning because she was there waking up, running down to be with her Grammy and Jefe, and I just think even little moments of being with family (are special).”

So excited to announce July’s @readwithjenna book pick! “Friends and Strangers” by J. Courtney Sullivan is a book about living an authentic, fulfilling life. Told through the alternating perspectives of two women, the novel presents two coming-of-age stories — one of a young mother and another of her college-age babysitter. It’s a compelling book that takes on modern issues surrounding adulthood, motherhood and class. “Friends and Strangers” ultimately reveals that happiness comes from authenticity and purpose rather than wealth, success and secrets. Sullivan’s clever writing makes this pick the perfect summer read—delicious and compelling through the last word. I hope you’ll read along and join us!
