A very long time ago, I received a lovely DM from @marziemoo when they asked about what are some recommendations for wlw/sapphic books about or written by authors of color. I apologize that it has taken me so long.
Allow me first to give some caveats:
I am very, very, very white. I am NOT a person of color. Please take my opinion with a grain of salt.
I take FOREVER to read books so, the ones I have read is small list but I have included ones that I researched and ones that have been on my To Read List for a while.
I tend to read mostly fantasy, so this list will comprise mostly of fantasy because that is what I read. I'll try to diversify with other genres. Everything except "The Jasmine Throne" I have not yet read.
Tumblr media
Tasha Suri is a South Asian author whose work "The Jasmine Throne" depicts the story of an imprisoned princess and a priestess who hides from her past. It's passionate and powerful.
Warning: this book does depict or implicate harsher subjects and themes such as sexism, human sacrifice, and contains violence.
Tumblr media
Kalynn Bayron, a black author. "Cinderella is Dead" tells the story of Sophia, who is forced with other girls to be forced into marriage two hundred years after Cinderella and her tale died. Sophia is joined with Constance, the last descendent of Cinderella and her step-sisters, to bring down the king. I haven't read this one yet, but it sits on my giant pile of To Read stack
Tumblr media
This book by Leah Johnson tells the story of Liz Lighty, a midwest black girl. She's hoping to find financial aid so she can attend the college of her dreams. In order to do that, she has to become prom queen. Along comes Mack, the new girl, who is also vying for the prom queen crown. Sounds like rivals-to-lovers to me? I don't really read contemporary fiction, but the story premise is cute.
Tumblr media
In Chinelo Okparanta's book, Ijeoma grows up as her nation gains independence and by the time she's 11, civil war breaks out. Ijeoma is sent away to safety where she comes across another displaced child. Friendship blooms and becomes a star-crossed romance. Again, I don't read a lot of contemporary fiction, but I might had this one to my reading list myself.
Tumblr media
With the world's survival at stake, two teenagers are selected to journey to the Fairy Queen to fix it. Kaede and Taisin are drawn together during the mission. As members of their party succumb to unearthly attacks and fairy tricks, the two come to rely on each other and even begin to fall in love. This is a prequel to Malinda Lo's series, Ash.
Tumblr media
Originally published in 1995, LarissaLai weaves a story in and out of medieval China to contemporary Vancouver. The book follows a thousand year old fox spirit, a 9th century Taoist poet and nun, and a young Asian-American named Artemis.
Tumblr media
Makeda Hicks just lost her job and girlfriend in one fell swoop. She doesn't want to hear stories from her grandmother about her whirlwind affairs with royals and agents. So when Beznaria Chetchevaliere crashes into her life, Makeda can't resist. Only one bed and fake marriage hijinks insues!
Tumblr media
Lei, in Natasha Ngan's book, Girls of Paper and Fire, lives with her father years after her mother is taken by the royal guards and disappeared. Now, they've come for Lei, whose rumored beauty has intrigued the king. Lei enters the opulent yet oppressive palace to train with eight other young women to please the king. A forbidden romance begins with Lei and she begins to question how far she would go for revenge.
Tumblr media
In Tehlor Kay Mejia's premiere novel, 'We Set the Dark on Fire,' writes a compelling story that mirrors real world issues of immigration and equality. Daniela Vargas is the top student at Medio School for Girls. As a top student, upon graduation her paths are limited, run a husband's household or raise his children. Will Daniela chose the life of privilege her parents fought for or will she join the resistance to bring true freedom to Medio, and perhaps forbidden love?
Tumblr media
Seventeen year old Lil and her twin sister, Kizzy are captured and taken away from their traveler community. Forced to work in the kitchens, Lil is drawn to another slave, Mira. Lil and the others discover and fight for a fate of their own making. (Through some research, I discovered that the author, Kiran Millwood Hargrave, is of Indian descent through her mother and lives in Oxford.)
Tumblr media
Yetu remembers everything. She remembers the people who came before her, the pregnant African women thrown overboard by their enslavers. In order to escape this burden and the memories, Yetu travels to the surface to discover her past and a future for her people.
Tumblr media
Manuela Azul lives a confined life in a small Florida apartment hiding from both her father's crime family in Argentina and ICE. On the run, she discovers a world within our own and one which Manuela discovers something about herself that could rock her world.
Tumblr media
This Hugo award-winning novel by S.L. Huang, is a retelling of the Western fairy tale classic, Little Red Riding Hood. Only this time, Red Riding Hood is done with wolves and forests. Combing fairy tale nostalgia and Chinese folklore, the main characters, Rosa, Red Riding Hood, and Hou Yi the Archer join forces and set forth on a quest to stop the deadly sunbirds from destroying everything they hold dear.

ICE illegally deports family of asylum seekers from Vermont
Inbox
Tumblr media
A family has been deported to Honduras, in violation of the governmentโ€™s legal protections for asylum seekers. Greisy Mejia, 29, came to the United States with her nine-year-old daughter and infant son fleeing for her life. Rather than allow her to apply for relief from deportation, immigration agents detained Greisy and her children yesterday in St. Albans, VT.ย 
As dozens of community members gathered for an emergency rally outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office, Greisy and her children were driven away. They were put on a plane and deported to Honduras. ICE carried out this deportation despite protections guaranteeing individuals who express fear of persecution in their country of origin an interview with an asylum officer.
Late last year โ€“ following extortion and threats from organized crime โ€“ Greisy and her family fled Honduras to seek asylum in the United States. When she arrived at the border, she was detained. Though Greisy told Border Patrol agents that she feared for her life, she was not allowed to apply for asylum. Instead, she and her children were deported.ย 
Greisy and family in Vermont
Knowing that staying in Honduras could be a death sentence, Greisy again attempted to come to the U.S earlier this year. Because they had denied her the opportunity to request asylum the first time, Greisy decided not to turn herself into Border Patrol again; instead, she crossed the border, hoping to join her family in Vermont.
Because of their vulnerable position, Greisy and her children were kidnapped as soon as they made it across. The kidnappers held them for weeks, abused them, and demanded $9,000 ransom from her family. Greisy and her children were finally able to escape and reach a police officer in Uvalde, Texas.
Following their escape from the kidnappers, Greisy was once more handed over to Border Patrol. She was given an ankle monitor, put under an order of supervision, and allowed to travel to Vermont. Upon arriving in Vermont, Greisy connected with Migrant Justice and was in the process of applying for asylum and for a special visa available to victims of human trafficking.
After several routine appointments with ICE, Greisy was asked to return to their office in St. Albans, VT with her two kids. ICE agents knew that she would be filing a petition to request to remain in the U.S. and implied that they might remove her ankle monitor.
Yesterday, July 9th, Greisy and her two kids reported to the ICE office. They remained in the waiting room for six hours, held without food, under the pretense that ICE would consider Greisyโ€™s petition for relief. When agents finally appeared, they arrested Greisy, her nine-year-old daughter, and infant son.
The familyโ€™s attorneys at the Center for Justice Reform of Vermont Law and Graduate School attempted to file an emergency application for a โ€œStay of Removalโ€ to stop their deportation, but ICE would not accept the application at its Vermont office. Instead, the agency put the family on a plane to Honduras, where they arrived this afternoon.
We denounce this cruel and horrific abuse. ICE needlessly and knowingly sent a family back to a country where their lives will be at risk โ€“ in violation of the law and the agencyโ€™s own guidelines. We hold ICE responsible for any harm that comes to Greisy and her family. This is an attack against the entire immigrant community. Migrant Justice mourns the deportation of this family and will continue to fight for their safe return to the United States.

WIP Wednesday: Custos Custodium
This week, Jensen gets to see life on the inside when he's sent into the Pent House, a supermax facility for dangerous Augs, on a mission. There'll be a lot of drugs. But at least he gets to hang out with Jarreau for a minute. The whole thing is at https://archiveofourown.org/works/55686901/chapters/141357007.
Jarreau briefed him over coffee. Hector Guerrero had infiltrated Junkyard as one Oscar Mejia over two years ago. The silent agent was in Organized Crime, not CT, but he was in position to confirm or deny the intel on the widespread terror attacks allegedly planned for the second anniversary of the Incident. Junkyard had maneuvered him into the โ€œPent House,โ€ the Penley T. Housefather Federal Correctional Facility, a super-max for Augs run jointly with the state government in the middle of the Arizona desert. No one knew why, but it had been intentional. And they couldnโ€™t ask him: heโ€™d gone โ€œdark opal,โ€ no comms contact whatsoever lest he blow his cover and lose his angleโ€”and his life. Jensenโ€™s mission was to be โ€œtransferred in,โ€ make contact of a subtler sort, get the intel, extract Agent Guerrero if possible, and be โ€œtransferred outโ€ to another facility a few days later.
He had a cover identity, too, as a hatchet-man for a gang out of Wisconsin, moved down south to get him away from his known associates. He was supposed to have received his augs after a self-sacrificing act of loyalty to his boss, whoโ€™d sprung for the good stuff out of gratitude. Jensen wasnโ€™t sure it would explain how heโ€™d become almost half Sarif-brand milspec carbon and chrome, but the cover only had to hold up for a few days.
The cover came with a set of charges, but they let him pick a name. He went with โ€œDerrick Walthers,โ€ an homage to his favorite boxer, a Detroit boy whose similar build had given Jensen a lot of inspiration back in the day, and to his sort-of godmother. He warned Malik and, after a momentโ€™s thought, Pritchard that he was going no-contact himself for several days to a week, then hung up his coat in the Phoenix office and changed into anonymous street clothes. Jarreau wished him good luck.
And then he was in an automated VTOL on an automated route out over the Arizona desert to the rocky butte where the Pent House throbbed like a steel carbuncle of anti-Aug sentiment made manifest. The VTOL came in over the pad, stopped, turned, and dropped with a bounce on its shocks. Its flight was robotic, without spirit or grace or economy, either of momentum or of fuel. Jensen thought about the way Malik made the chunky Bumblebee dance like a hummingbird and shook his head minutely.
Processing sucked, despite his best efforts to appreciate the irony. Theyโ€™d changed him into a red prison jumpsuit already, with an inmate number stenciled on the zip-off top and the trousers. Heโ€™d been put in leg irons and manacles that enclosed his entire hands, both made of titanium, neither enough to do more than slow him down if he tried to make a break for it. But the heavy collar around his neck was the worst. Two guards attached long poles to it and walked him into an elevator that took him down to the processing station, while cameras and turrets scrutinized his every move.
Then they opened up his temporal port and put a control chip into him, something from TYMโ€™s labs behind American branding, no doubt. He suspected it built on Reedโ€™s work, as subverted by Darrow: it wracked his body with pain every time he used bioenergy.
And whenever they aimed a little remote at him and pressed the button. Which they did, gleefully. And repeatedly. One guard kicked him in the kidneys once heโ€™d dropped to his knees in agony, but it barely registered through the electric torment. The prisonโ€™s head CO, a tall man with iron-grey hair and a permanent sneer whose ID badge read STENGER, made sure he got the message loud and clear, staring him down while his muscles locked up, myomer clawing at itself just like the flesh beside it, a quivering, full-body rictus.
The pain coursed through him like he was burning up from within. He felt a flicker of sympathy for Zhao Yun Ru before the agony overwhelmed him and he blacked out.

Calif: Feds Dismantle 'One Of The Largest' Human Smuggling Rings In U.S., Led By 2 Guatemalan Nationals
Tumblr media
Helmer Obispo Hernandez, described as a โ€œlieutenantโ€ in the smuggling operation. (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement)
Two Guatemalan men were detained by federal officials on Friday on suspicion of running one of the largest human smuggling operations in the United States.
The two were apprehended close to downtown Los Angeles. They are being charged for smuggling at least 20,000 illegal aliens from Guatemala into the United States โ€” since 2019.
Human trafficking and human smuggling differ.
โ€œHuman trafficking involves exploiting men, women, or children for the purposes of forced labor or commercial sexual exploitation. Human smuggling involves the provision of a serviceโ€”typically, transportation or fraudulent documentsโ€”to an individual who voluntarily seeks to gain illegal entry into a foreign country,โ€ according to ICE.
A judge ordered both men, Eduardo Domingo Renoj-Matul and Cristobal Mejia-Chaj, to be held without bond when they appeared in federal court a few hours after their arrests. If convicted, they could each face the death penalty.
โ€œThese smuggling organizations have no regard for human life and their conduct kills,โ€ stated acting U.S. Attorney Joseph McNally. โ€œThe indictment and arrests here have dismantled one of the countryโ€™s largest and most dangerous smuggling organizations. This work saves lives, and the members of the organization will now face significant consequences.โ€
Helmer Obispo-Hernandez, a โ€œlieutenantโ€ in the smuggling ring, and Jose Paxtor-Oxlaj, a man incarcerated in Oklahoma for his involvement in a 2023 automobile accident that killed seven illegals, including five members of the same family, are also charged in the case.
โ€œEvery day, similar human smuggling organizations put profits ahead of the safety in these reckless and illegal endeavors,โ€ stated Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Los Angeles Acting Special Agent John Pasciucco.ย โ€œHSI Los Angeles and our partners are committed to continue identifying and dismantling these organizations, so no further lives are lost, and ourย borders are secure.โ€
Renoj-Matul, also known as โ€œTurko,โ€ is accused of being the operationโ€™s ringleader. He was collaborating with other colleagues in Guatemala who had charged travelers between $15,000 and $18,000 to enter the U.S. safely.
After arriving, the migrants were billed once more for further transportation throughout the nation. According to Renoj-Matulโ€™s indictment details, illegals were sent to at least 20 states and Washington, D.C., under his supervision.
At the same Los Angeles neighborhood where Renoj-Matul and Mejia-Chaj were captured, illegals who failed to pay are believed to have been held captive at a stash house โ€” police say.
Prosecutors also claimed that in one instance last year, Renoj-Matul threatened to โ€œbring home in a boxโ€ the mother of a migrant he was holding hostage, that is, if her smuggling payments were not paid.
For threatening to chop off the head of a Homeland Security Investigations officer who carried out a search warrant at his residence on Friday, Obispo-Hernandez is still at large and faces further allegations.
โ€œAssistant United States Attorneys Shawn J. Nelson and Elia Herrera of the International Narcotics, Money Laundering, and Racketeering Section are prosecuting this case. Assistant United States Attorney Tara B. Vavere of the Asset Forfeiture and Recovery Section is handling the asset forfeiture portion of this case,โ€ according to the Department of Justice.
