Yesterday was very special! A room full of incredible writers gathered for the #massbookaward. I'm honored that "We Refuse" won for the best nonfiction book. I love living in MA, it gets a lot of things right and I put literature on that list.

Quoted on the NYT... the article is asking us to look beyond party lines. The kids are not alright and that should be everyone's concern. I hope you'll check it out.

Guys! "We Refuse" won the Darlene Clark Hine Award. I'm feeling so proud and grateful. God is good. Shout out to my husband, my 3 free beautiful black children and all my friends and family. I don't do any of this alone. There's always a WE.
