So grateful for this thoughtful review + write up on LFKAQ! Truly appreciate the highlighting in interviews around how gender-expansive & queerness has always been a part of us, our pre-colonial selves, & existed way before the invention of whiteness, imperialism and borders✨🌈

My super sweet friend @afrikansniper recently released this amazing book! The Letter Formally Known As Q connects the themes of home, borders, immigration, community, and queerness in a seamless way that propelled me to further investigate how I define these themes for myself.

★★★★ | This book was as beautifully & meticulously written as I expected. I only wish that Emezi would have given us more of Vivek’s perspective on her life and experiences. Regardless, I’m happy I finally read this & ecstatic for the 3 books @azemezi is releasing this year!

★★★★☆
I’m happy that I discovered @adriennemaree when I did, a period when I needed to reorient myself toward self awareness. Being able to pick up this book & challenge myself to reflect on how I could begin showing up for myself was incredibly valuable 💝

[The Black Syllabus @blacksyllabus]

I’m grateful to her to leaving behind a path for current and future scholars/writers like myself to follow, for leaving behind her wisdom and perspective, for helping me learn self reflection. I pray she’s resting, peacefully 🌹

I didn’t post about bell hooks’ passing right away because I don’t like getting caught up in the hype of big news, I need to process it in my own time before engaging with others online about it.

[The Black Syllabus @blacksyllabus]

The diversity and expansiveness of her work inspired me to pursue public scholarship, she was my first example of a Black womxn scholar who wasn’t bound by any specific discipline, she wrote about what she valued. That’s what I wanna do. I still have so much to learn from her.
