Black nonfiction and literary titles just because

It's always a good idea to read from Black authors and about Black history. It can be a bit nauseating to see people only talk about Black authors during February and the ensuing praise that everyone gives one another because of it.

I chose my peace and mental sanity this month as America is being shredded each day, but as a Black woman- Black authors and Black history are always on my mind.

Here are some book covers. I don't have much energy to engage in the conversations about what is happening with DEI in the States right now. If people want to know, they know and they are researching. They aren't leaving it up to the communities affected to  explain it to and for them, and if they are- I am not the one to do it. 















Happy reading and may diversity, equity and inclusion remain a priority in the hearts and minds of all good people while old men fight to drag us back into the stone age. ☕️

 Generation II


A Black girl
going
into the woman
her other
desired
and prayed for
walks alone
and afraid
of both
their angers.
