I read 69 books this year. Most of them were fiction. Lots by Black and Latina women authors. I’ve continued to stay away from the BIG books that have too much sadness & reality. In thirrd year of pandemic reading, still need to keep up my spirits. Here are some recommendations:

Mind you, we're bumping a song that samples Luther Vandross right now. Twenty years after his passing, nearly 45 years after his debut album.

His music is timeless.

@dradambanks Thank you.

This is a beautiful thing

Get so tired of the hypocrisy.

Reading this to try to help my 22 year-old nephew make sense of the Election. Obama was the first President he knew, so none of this is making sense. https://t.co/98iPfyGtQg

We’re on an unsustainable trajectory as a nation if we don’t address this distrust. On election night I said “I believe the opposite of democracy is apathy.” I still believe we can heal the country and restore trust and integrity to public service. Let’s get to work. END

Even after 4 yrs in office, Trump wasn’t seen as the status quo or as a “politician.” There was a clear belief that Trump was different. Some raised real concerns about Trump’s policies and personality, but those concerns didn’t override their disgust for politics. 3/12

@kennedyrwrites Not there yet.

Could you imagine Barack with even 1 baby mama?!?!?!?!?

America put a convicted felon in the White House before a woman.

The message we just sent to the world. Yikes.

@aasewell @anthonyocampo And misogyny. #Misogynoir on full display.

[Crystal A. Moore, PhD @CrystalMooreEd]

@anthonyocampo Yep! But there were plenty of Black & Latinx in the mix too.

Haven’t heard many people talking about this amazing film, so I’m here to promote Exhibiting Forgiveness. It was full of beautiful Black art that served as the backdrop to this family saga. @AndreHolland_ is a national treasure. https://t.co/gJGk0VMOeK
