Yesterday was very special! A room full of incredible writers gathered for the #massbookaward. I'm honored that "We Refuse" won for the best nonfiction book. I love living in MA, it gets a lot of things right and I put literature on that list.

Guys! "We Refuse" won the Darlene Clark Hine Award. I'm feeling so proud and grateful. God is good. Shout out to my husband, my 3 free beautiful black children and all my friends and family. I don't do any of this alone. There's always a WE.

Head to the Brooklyn Museum 5th floor and you'll see a copy of #WeRefuse on display! I'm not gonna lie! I nearly squealed! I told two random black women "Ladies! This is my book!" We took selfies together! There is nothing like having your work being seen and read. THIS WILL NEVER GET OLD!
