This collection of books spans various important and sensitive topics such as racial injustice, juvenile justice, cultural identity, and social advocacy. From the memoir of a Brixton reggae-head to a graphic memoir of a Ukrainian-Nigerian-Canadian hockey player, the books provide diverse perspectives on personal struggles and societal challenges. Each narrative serves as a lens into the complexities of modern society and individual experiences, confronting issues of race, justice, and identity with honesty and depth.

@interviewmag @thespectacleisreal @tulsaartistfellowship @davidcastillogallery @the_breeder_gallery A part of me wondered if I should have just went to NYC this week. I forgot it was Armory Week and Fashion Week. It wasn't until last week when I was chatting with a friend that I realized it was going to be a huge week and weekend. I decided not to book that last minute trip since I have been there 4x since April. I also never asked Interview Magazine when the issue was coming out. After a wonderful rehearsal with the band tonight, I pulled up and found the best surprise. Three copies of Interview Magazine on my porch! I opened it up and saw all the wonderful people in the issue and immediately felt that I was in NYC participating in Armory Week and Fashion Week. There is nothing like those September issues 🧡💛❤ Thank you Interview for inviting me to be a part of this! I am experiencing such warm feelings☺😊 Uma just let it marinate 🥰 Thank you James Hannaham for inviting me to do the cover art for Didn’t Nobody Give a Shit What Happened to Carlotta! I am sitting over here cheezing #kaluplinzy #jameshannaham #KimKardashian #interviewmagazine #septemberissue #annawintour #2022tulsaartistfellow #2022tulsaartistfellowship (at Queen Rose Art House) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiRMSsxswRO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

SUNDAY SPOTLIGHT! Let’s go! Get set for Aug. 30, 2022. This⬅️crazy book drops then and you better be strapped in for a wild literary ride!! I wrote ✍🏿 Quite an experience. Wild. Hilarious. Unconventional. Saucy. The rules of writing are being absolutely obliterated in this uncategorizable crazy tale of Carlotta Mercedes née Dustin Chambers. Just flat out different in not only the way the story is revealed but the style of writing. There are point of view changes within paragraphs, hell sometimes in the same sentence. Going from first-person to third-person with a quick turn. There are the phonetic spelling of words, which will drive language purists crazy. “You couldn’t look at no boring-ass caterpillar and recanize the gorgeous butterfly that it done become after, right?” If you come to this book with an open mind and can be a nonconformist for a few hours then you will get a good solid tale of a struggle to live one’s truth. And you will meet an array of odd characters as witnesses to Carlotta’s fight to be free, in every sense of the word. Not giving plot summary as the blurb encircled the book quite decisively. I can definitely see this landing on best of year lists, just for the sheer hilarity and off the edge style of writing. This is a book not to be just read, but to be experienced. The title alone is unlike anything currently in the fiction market, it was the impetus for me to request this book. So, many thanks to Netgalley and Little Brown &Co. for an advanced DRC. Book lands everywhere on Aug. 30, 3022 #ownvoicesreviews #didntnobodygiveashitwhappenedtocarlotta #jameshannaham #littlebrownandcompanybooks #goodreads #goodblackreads #bookpusher #pushingbooksainteasy #blackbibliophile #bibliophile #blackbooksmatter #bookstagram #bookreview #bookreviewer #makereadinglitagain #r4 #houstonreads #readology (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeJOBE-Ltw4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@thespectacleisreal @littlebrown @magiccitybooks @tulsaartistfellowship @davidcastillogallery @the_breeder_gallery So excited for this! Didn’t Nobody Give a Shit What Happened to Carlotta is out today! Order your copy or pick up one from your local bookstore! Description is below! I created the cover art! Congrats to James Hannaham and thank you for inviting me to do the cover art! In this “razor-sharp” and “dangerously hilarious” novel that “hooks readers from the beginning” (Los Angeles Times), a trans woman reenters life on the outside after more than twenty years in a men’s prison, over one consequential Fourth of July weekend—from the author of the PEN/Faulkner Award winner Delicious Foods. Carlotta Mercedes has been misunderstood her entire life. When she was pulled into a robbery gone wrong, she still went by the name she’d grown up with in Fort Greene, Brooklyn—before it gentrified. But not long after her conviction, she took the name Carlotta and began to live as a woman, an embrace of selfhood that prison authorities rejected, keeping Carlotta trapped in an all-male cell block, abused by both inmates and guards, and often placed in solitary. In her fifth appearance before the parole board, Carlotta is at last granted conditional freedom and returns to a much-changed New York City. Over a whirlwind Fourth of July weekend, she struggles to reconcile with the son she left behind, to reunite with a family reluctant to accept her true identity, and to avoid any minor parole infraction that might get her consigned back to lockup. Written with the same astonishing verve of Delicious Foods, which dazzled critics and readers alike, Didn’t Nobody Give a Shit What Happened to Carlotta sweeps the reader through seemingly every street of Brooklyn, much as Joyce’s Ulysses does through Dublin. The novel sings with brio and ambition, delivering a fantastically entertaining read and a cast of unforgettable characters even as it challenges us to confront the glaring injustices of a prison system that continues to punish people long after their time has been served. #jameshannaham #didntnobodygiveashitwhathappenedtocarlotta #bookstagram #reading #kaluplinzy (at Magic City Books) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch5enTUP7Q0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
