<p>This is a throwback to the cherished moment in 2022 when I received the Pencraft Book Award. I am immensely grateful for this honor, a milestone that represents more than just my personal achievement. Writing this book was a journey of both challenges and triumphs, a testament to my dedication to storytelling and the influence of those who inspired me. This award, given by the Pencraft community, is not only a recognition of my work but also a celebration of the support I received from family, friends, and readers. It underscores the transformative power of words and their enduring impact. I am deeply honored and thankful for having my work embraced so warmly. Thank you, Pencraft, for this incredible honor.</p><p><strong><em>27 Rouge💄 is a reader-supported publication.
