I had the honor of participating in two different events at Princeton Reunions 2026. The Princeton Women’s Network book talk “We Roar Together” was a fantastic experience. I chatted with April Chou ’96 about longstanding friendships, the many paths women’s lives take, belonging and not belonging at Princeton, and more. The energy in the room was warm and welcoming and magical, which resulted in the following exchange during the Q&A:
Alumna 1: “Have you ever considered turning Mathey Girls into a movie? I think it’d be a great movie!”
Me: “Ha ha ha thank you! Honestly I have never considered this as a self-pub debut author, it’s kind of beyond the scope of my dreams for the novel. But if you know anyone who’s a movie producer, feel free to share the book with them!”
Alumna 2 (the immediately following audience member with a question): “Hi! I”m a movie producer!”
For even more magic, check out my instagram post about Chuck’s and my chance encounter with one of the original Mathey Girls here, which happened the morning of the PWN event.
