Big up to Black people! I LOVE YOU! Bump all that other noise.
The Secret of Church Ladies and The Vanishing Half are everythingggg.
Yesssss, you always have such great picks! The Secret Life of Church Ladies is soooo good! One of my favorite reads from last year! So intimate and raw and beautiful ❤️. And Deesha Philyaw is such a down to earth sweetheart! Thanks to you I will be reading Lustre and the NK Jemisin book as well!! Thank you so much for the endearing words; as a Black woman I very much appreciate this video! Ann Perry The Street was one of the most influential works I've read by any writer ever. (Also shout out to Alisha Acquaye! You and her facilitated the best writing workshops I ever attended).
The City We Became was one of my favorites this past year! I also read Jemesin's whole broken earth series this past year and it was just, my new favorite of all time!
Thank you!👍🏽❤️🖤💚📕
This is such a necessary and loving video that made me tear up!! My heart is so warm. Thank you Tim 🖤🖤🖤
This intro 😂 I looooove it.
I absolutely loved Silver Sparrow by Tayari Jones, currently reading An American Marriage which is easily shaping up to be another 5 star from her. Love love love.
The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison is my favorite book; Morrison is just so powerful. Additionally, the work done by Dorothy Roberts in Fatal Invention is extremely impressive and important.
