LEARNING SOMETHING - Really can’t wait for this book after that fabulous @HurstonWright panel helmed by @KhadijahOnline. The brilliance of @jerichobrown, @tiphanieyanique, @Wralpheubanks and the other Black writers on craft sent me straight to my pocketbook. Preordered! 📚📚📚
OPINION: When Akon explained the difference between African artists and Black Americans, he exposed a deep-seated rift created by people like Akon.

A 36 y/o white man Krieg Butler Sr. got out of his truck & shot 13 y/o black boy, Sinzae Reed, then drove off. He came back around and reshot him multiple times in the back, killing him, then fled the scene.
Imagine after 5 days, Krieg was a free man!
This Saturday, we’re celebrating this small anthology of Monterey County writers chronicling some of the Black history of the county. Boukra Press, an imprint of Old Capital Books was gracious enough to take on the project. Stop by if you’re free! A few authors will be there!
The plot twist I didn’t see coming is some Black folks caping for Hitler. Uh, he hated us too. Believed in a pure white race. Here’s a homework assignment — look up Rhineland children and Hilarius Gilges. Also, that Hitler quote calling Black people the real Jews is FAKE.
Brittney Griner will enter a system of isolation, grueling labor and psychological torment when she is transferred to a penal colony, the successor to the infamous Russian gulag, to fulfill a nine-year sentence, former prisoners and advocates say.
