#Altadena has a Black community that began during the Great Migration of people escaping the Jim Crow South. Now those neighborhoods are 2nd-4th gen Black families. Over 60% of Black residents are over 65 yrs old. LA’s #EatonFire burned it to the ground

Here’s a compiled doc of their GoFundMes

I also wrote a fantasy series that’s a contemporary Game of Thrones ft. Black & Black queer leads. It got starred reviews from Kirkus & Publisher’s Weekly, & I was a finalist in the GA Author of the Year Award for it.

If you’re a fan of The Originals tv series, check it out! #booksky #blackbooksky

the 2013 - 2017 black film renaissance (“fruitvale station” (2013), “selma” (2014), “beyond the lights” (2014), “dope” (2015), “moonlight” (2016), “get out” (2017)) changed everything.

as many of these films celebrate a decade, i am reminded every film is truly a miracle.

I easily spent $500 this Black Friday for the first time EVER. But I finally built a winter wardrobe, got new bras, bought my winter bundles, and supported small black women-owned businesses!

And I love that for us
“I felt it in my entire body. I was heartbroken.”

Following Donald Trump's defeat of Kamala Harris in the election, many Black women have vowed to prioritize their own well-being first instead of charging to the front lines of the culture wars, for now.

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.
