πŸŽ‰'Losing Sight' by @richardwriteson.bsky.social is out now! Go on and get it! 🧡 #blackskybooks #blackbooksky #blackromance #LosingSight #TatiRichardson

πŸ§΅πŸ‘€πŸ‘“πŸ˜Look: I had to take my glasses off for #LosingSight! 'Twas cute, sweet, grown, a little corny & a little bit more sexy. Fun premise. And the characters were mature, just slightly off, and emotionally relatable. I love me some @richardwriteson.bsky.social books! #blackskybooks #Blackromance

🧡(I'd had an eye on 'The Build Up' by #TatiRichardson & ended up reading it since our #WritingWhileBlack podcast guests became my 2024 #gottareads. #TheBuildUp was SOOO good--sweet and satisfying. So you can go on ahead and get that too if you got a sweet tooth like me.)🧡 #blackbooks #blackskybooks

I think we really need to normalize talking openly about mental health. Everyone’s on their own journey, and having those conversations can help break the stigma

Saw this coming when I saw that Supreme Court ruling. de jure law and inequity.

If u, or someone u know, is a BLACK WRITER whose writing centers BlackUs, we are looking for authors for the Dec 2025 #freeBLACKbooks Event! The event is in December but let's connect NOW πŸ‘‰πŸ½ befabulousyou.kit.com/c89aacde54 #BlackBooks #freeBlackBooks #BlackAuthors #BlackAuthor #BlackWriter

SooooπŸ˜„πŸ˜πŸ˜‰ a new #BlackWritersGroup project, #freeBLACKbooks, is in alignment. I am excited about being able to find other writers to adore and to be able to provide an additional layer of support to #Blackauthors. (#BlackREADERS, you can mark your calendars & be on the lookout for updates!)

The "a piece of a _____ is better than no ____ at all" philosophy is not for me. I want what I want. I know what I need. And I deserve all dat. You do too. We all do. My creating affirms that we, BlackUs, are worthy of art that feeds & fills & fuels us...

I write for me and I write for US. It has been challenging to find stories that resonate with me. I personally wanted to have stuff to engage in that was a reflection of me and that portrayed (past, present, future) #BlackUs as WINNING.

Even though these #BWG anthologies have been HUGE undertakings, I feel so good (and driven) to keep going. I love supporting #Blackwriters in developing & sharing our work. The #BlackWritersGroup has become a passion! The meetings, the #WritingWhileBlack podcasts, the anthologies...

Being in community aligns with how we are cut. Building for and with us is our way. I am grateful to be building with and for writers. We artists (writers, metaphysicians, cooks, healers, farmers,...) hold, weave, and project truth! #Habarigani? #Ujima (Collective Work & Responsibility)🧡

As I am winding down the layout/design of our SECOND #BlackWritersGroup anthology, I am even clearer about the importance of our work. Our #bwg anthologies, our weekly writers group + our #WritingWhileBlack podcast, are all about building community and supporting #Blackwriters and #Blackartists. 🧡
