It’s National Black Author’s Day and I’m so blessed to be doing this for four years and counting! I write ✍️ books set in the South that look like me and talk like me and give kids a glimpse of hoodoo, magic and possibility. #booksky #blackbooksky linktr.ee/srmilesauthor

I have never seen this video of Ashford Simpson, Whitney Houston, and Al Jarreau. There is so much talent on one stage.

If youre already familiar w Saul Williams, his role in Sinners is relatively muted compared to how fiery he can be as a performer. That's the only way I can explain how so many ppl MORE familiar with him than me didn't notice.

Ryan Coogler's “Sinners” is a supernatural celebration of Black history, music, culture all taking place in Smoke and Stack's juke joint. But did you know “juke” comes from the Gullah word “jug” or “juk” meaning rowdy or disorderly? #Sinners #Gullah #Geechee # BlackHistory

I remember my parents and grandparents would make us turn off the lights when it stormed. They would also make us be quiet. I hated it😂

Communion by bell hooks is a thought-provoking book. Hooks focuses not just on romantic, community love, friendship, and self-love. One quote summarizes her book's key points: "Love is a combination of care, commitment, knowledge, responsibility, respect, and trust.”

One day we’ll talk about how a lot of women are secretly (it’s not a secret anymore) homophobic & it shows in how quickly they are to call men gay over very minuscule things.
