Spending Juneteenth in a space with some of the best and brightest in DC. If you’re supporting Black businesses and creatives with intention today, I challenge you to keep that same energy year round. 🤎

Just 10 days until THROW AWAY THE KEY is out in the world! If you miss Zora and Granny Marion, you're sure to get your fix, but Emma is the highlight of this story. I thought I'd share a little taste of the tropey goodness from this sapphic romance. Preorder: https://buff.ly/3Eq2uVe
A promotional image for the book "Throw Away The Key" by Taj McCoy, set for release on February 20th. The book cover is centered on a background of cherry blossoms and the Washington Monument reflected in water. Around the cover are black arrows pointing to different elements, labeling various themes and tropes of the story: "Grumpy Sunshine," "Will They/Won't They," "Forced Proximity," "Fear of Commitment," "Landlady/Tenant," "Fur Baby," and "Bookstore Romance." The text "Out Feb 20!!" appears in pink at the top of the image.

Setting sail on the National Day of Rest for Black Women just feels right. Kismet, even. Step one, waterside selfie. Step two, bubbles. 🥰🥂🛳️

Just a small sample of small business Saturday fun in Mount Holly. What did y’all buy?? I got books and coffee, signed the last copy of mine the bookstore had, met some talented creatives, bought a cute new dress, and hit up a Black-owned cigar bar. Such a good day!🥰

Does anyone else turn on one of those cozy ambiance channels on YouTube while they’re working from home? Mine is a fall-themed crackling fireplace patio with soft jazz playing while it rains in the background. ☺️

The energy I’m bringing into 2025.
