Remember when I said something nice was coming today? Well: I was asked to write the introduction to the new edition of Toni Morrison’s BELOVED! I’m so honored and happy! Here’s the new cover—that’s my name down at the bottom!!!!

Happy August 5 to all who celebrate! 😊🙌🏾#Alabamabrawl #Fadeinthewater #Thebruhsdonotplay #Aquamayne #IYKYK

Forgive my tiny—or maybe even large—flex, but this is me on the cover of @washingtonpost.com Book World. THE. COVER. 😊🙌🏾

A snippet from my conversation with the brilliant Sullivan Summer on my new book Misbehaving at the Crossroads for the @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social ! Here’s the link to the full juicy convo: newbooksnetwork.com/misbehaving-...

(Why, yes, it IS strange to be promoting a book during these times— please don’t judge me.)

As promised, here are the tour dates for my new book:

Unboxing FINISHED COPIES of Misbehaving at the Crossroads! I can’t believe it’s here! PS Shameless plug: Have you pre-ordered your copy? 😊

People are posting their Black Dandy family photos, so here is a picture of my daddy at the adorable age of 6. (He was 14 years older than Mama, born in 1919–48 years old when I was born.) 💜💜💜

My final beautiful blurb for Misbehaving at the Crossroads is by Dr. Yaba Blay! My heart is so very full thinking of the generosity of my four blurbers. 💜💜💜

I woke up this morning to some wonderful news: I’m on this week’s cover of @publisherswkly.bsky.social ! PS The picture’s a little blurry on my mere mortal IPhone but very sharp online.

This week, I’m honored & thrilled to present my second blurb by the brilliant novelist and essayist @emilyraboteau.bsky.social ! As a deep southern Black woman, I find Emily Raboteau’s nonfiction on environmental justice utterly necessary. Thank you Sister Emily for these beautiful words! ♥️🙏🏾

Beloved, today, I'm sharing that my first blurb is by Dr. Eddie Glaude, Jr! Thank you, Eddie, for these beautiful words! ♥️🖤💚

This is a powerful image. They dragged away an old Black man with a cane—and he was still protesting.

Democrats, this old Black man shamed the [expletive] out of y’all. Every single one of y’all should have started scrapping.

I was trying to wait to reveal the cover of my book Misbehaving at the Crossroads: Essays and Writings —due out on 6/24—but it’s already been revealed online, so ta da! 😊🙌🏾
