"Community is not a luxury. It is a necessity for us to feel happy and healthy. Flat out, hands down, period. Seeing people face-to-face keeps us physically and mentally healthy." -From @karaalaimo's wonderful new book. Hope to see Miami friends at @booksandbooks TONIGHT!

Thank you@tiannathewriter! When this came out back in 1995, I got plenty of backlash from folks who simply weren't prepared to hear it, esp from a biracial, high yella girl like me (lol). I write about that painful experience in my memoir & stand by these words more than ever.🩷

Now that OJ Simpson is dead I'd like to draw attention to this quote by Kristal Brent Zook [@KristalZook] that I read while I was doing my masters.

My friend @courtwrites did an amazing job, asking such original and creative questions. I love that she zeroed in on the power and importance of our #dreams and was even more touched that she “fell in love” with my grandmother. 💕💕 Check it out: https://t.co/itRGSXsMmY
