baby mya and daddy mike
Mike Molina is one of the coolest, smartest, and most talented people I know. We both went to Xavier University of Louisiana, where we were the only male English majors in our class. We became good friends in 1996, when we both spent the summer before our senior year at NYU in The Leadership Alliance’s summer research program. After we graduated, we both wound up at NYU for graduate school, and we have been brothers and creative co-conspirators since. If you read Grub, you were undoubtedly moved by Mike’s poem, “Down in New Orleans.” Wait ’til you read “Gumbo,” which he contributed to Vegan Soul Kitchen. . .
