Alechia Dow first came across the radar here in the Jam Bunker because of her tweets about delicious baked goods she made for her family.
But, Brad soon realized there was more to this former pastry chef than just cookie tweets. She’s also the author of the YA science fiction book, The Sound of Stars, a story about “a girl who risks her life for books and an alien who loves pop music” working together to save the world.
So, join Brad and Alechia as they talk Black Lives Matter, science fiction, reading, baked goods, and the importance of giving good presentations!
