Check out my short story, "When the Morning Gathers the Rainbow", published in @_midnightindigo. Stories about queer Black women navigating life, love, and family in the way all people do are the reason I write. #amwriting #fiction #ownvoices https://t.co/9noyr3rOa9

As a Jamaican-American writer, I'm so grateful and inspired listening to the brilliance of @CandiceC_W and narrator @daniellevitalis in the People Person audiobook. The heart and authenticity are top-tier. And if that's not enough, the sense of humor is on point, as expected.

As a Black woman these past few weeks have been so much. Knowing that my career, my finances, my reproductive rights, my saftey in public spaces etc are all scarily deeply affected by the whims of many white men who don’t have to value any of those things is a terrifying reality

Let's Talk About Love by Claire Kann is about the ups and downs of friendship and romance. College student, Alice, has owned her asexuality but is challenged with others' acceptance. Meanwhile, she and her friends experience their own battle defining what loyalty really means.⁠

The tenacity inherited from our ancestors can't be diminished as long as we know where we came from and understand where we're going. All of our skills—creative, intellectual, spiritual—are valuable to the cause of demanding the freedom to take up as much space as we want to.

George M. Johnson's All Boys Aren't Blue discusses the limited expectations projected onto Black boys and the abundance of variety they actually manifest. It gives queer Black kids permission to confidently exist authentically and with joy. #blackhistorymonth #lgbtbooks

I know how much art can change lives because it's changed mine. 💯📖 🤗⁠

A difficult yet triumphant tale about overcoming obstacles and making a way out of what seems to be no way, Under the Udala Trees by Chinelo Okparanta is a great LGBTQIA+ pick to read for Black History Month.⁠

When it gets tough to juggle my creative ambitions with my everyday life, I keep pressing on and remind myself of my responsibility to write a better world we can all aspire to live in. 📖🌎💫⁠

Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments is such a poignant and heartrending work of literature. It is a tribute to the women and girls who were forgotten in history books but whose lives gave rise to generations of other tenacious Black women. ⁠#blackhistorymonth #blackhistorybooks
