1) WHAT A TIME TO BE ALONE 2) HOW TO GET OVER A BOY Chidera Eggerue (second photo) If, like me, the pandemic and resulting quarantine have precipitated some very deep self-reflection, these will likely be of interest to you. I don't have an older sister, but if I did I imagine talking to her would be something like reading these books. In the end, there was very little in them that I didn't already know deep down inside me, but it was very helpful to see my gut reactions validated and backed up by specific examples. It was also comforting to see them written down in ink by someone else. I think every woman can get something out of one or both of these books. We all need to know our worth and start asking for it. You can read my full reviews for both of these books on Goodreads. If you want to order a copy of this book but would prefer to avoid Amazon, @adfrntbooklist is a Black-owned Toronto business with a robust online ordering system that specializes in books by Black authors.

No more hiding.

I've been postponing this but here we go:

I've decided to create a project reflecting the abuse I had to go through years ago when I was in a long term relationship. Therefore, if you don't feel comfortable with this kind of art work reflecting my ptsd, struggle and pain- Unfollow me I do not owe you explanations. I am tired of hiding in the shadows...I'm arming myself with silver bullets and ... i have nothing to lose. I’m hunting wolves.

THE WOMEN OF BREWSTER PLACE Gloria Naylor (second photo) This book is not long but there is so much packed into its few pages. Naylor demonstrates a complete mastery of her craft by evoking vivid images and emotions using only a few carefully chosen words. Readers who relish character and relationship-driven stories will be captivated by the spiders web of personalities that this book has to offer, and their connections to each other. For other non-POC readers, this book is not about us, but I think it's important that we read it anyway. More than almost anything else, for me, this book was about pain; a pain that I don't personally experience every day but that is very much real and present in our society. We can't fix it if we don't acknowledge it. I'll be honest - it's a tough read. But nothing ever changed when people stayed comfortable. Plus, it's a damn good book. You can read my full review on Goodreads.

I feel like this is becoming a trend, and it's not right all the natural hair,looks and products and stuff is beautiful to see. but one thing im not seeing is the support of one another in the black community, we claim to be pro black but still can't support one another we still saying dumb shit like, light skin that and dark skin this. Most of us still don't even know our history and its sad but i guess that will come in time. How about we work on The uprising of one another and teaching one another, remove the dislike and envy from your hearts. JUST SPREAD MORE #LOVE
