Getting Real About the Publishing Industry, Motherhood, and Staying Fly with “The Book of Possibilities” Author Bee Quammie

"Since I turned 40, I've reached that level of self-acceptance that so many 40+ women talk about," Bee says.

Possibility. It’s a word I’ve always been attracted to, taking several leaps of faith in my life/career while holding on to that word’s very meaning.

Cue author Bee Quammie and her debut book, The Book of Possibilities: Words of Wisdom on the Road to Becoming.

Fun Fact: I first met Bee when we played masquerade during Toronto’s Caribbean Carnival, casually known as Caribana (more on that unique experience in the future!). We’ve chipped down many roads donning feathers (in North America and across the pond in the islands) ever since!

One thing that’s close to my heart as a writer is community with fellow writers/creators—whether that’s mutually sharing each other’s work or convening in conversation about the realness of navigating the craft. So, when I saw Bee’s honest testimony navigating the challenging road as a Honey writer promoting her debut book, I knew we had to chat on this platform.

Along with that realness, we talked more about the meaning of “possibility” from her perspective, how she carries her “possibility model” into motherhood, advice for Honeys-in-training, and more! Get into our convo below!
