After watching Rustin… I had to track him to see if he too was hanging with Baldwin during the movement and y’all already know Baldwin was with all things moving! 👏🏾👏🏾

Currently reading… and it’s cute so far! Have you read it?

Rereading Sula at 39 is definitely a move. If you are exploring the work of Toni Morrison… or any classic… I would say a reread may be necessary especially if you read it 10-15 years removed. What’s the last book you reread at a different age and your eyes opened a little more in time?

To our Nikki Rosa…

I met Soror Nikki for a 3rd time in 2019… and I was just as starstruck as the first time I met her…

She was ours and we hers… May she rest and find favor because she gave us so much and we could never repay her in this lifetime. 💔🐘
