I love challenging reads. As a writer and philosopher, I get excited when I have to read a passage several times, picking it over, finessing the author's intentionality over and over... This one, "Vexy Things" by Imani Perry, has risen to such occasion. Challenge accepted!

"I noticed many of these characters struggle with the hollowness of the success they’ve finally achieved. In each of these novels, women find it so hard to exist honestly within power structures and ideology—even when they have helped create them". @literaryhub.bsky.social strikes again! Bravo.

Spent the last two days reflecting on my limits as a writer. This poem captured the essence of contemplation. "Bye, won't be in touch..." How haunting.

Spent time at Cambridge University presenting the research behind my forthcoming book, Iconoclast ... a creative nonfiction exploring archetypal themes of liberation with a focus on Black women and sacred text, such as the Gnostic Pistis Sophia. Thanks to @labrc.bsky.social I am rejuvenated.

Black and feminist and creative and relevant. Writing nonfiction that merges by academic background as a researcher with carefully honed skills of observation seems to be my niche. The liberation of being informed and producing knowledge. Making connections and seeing patterns.
