We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors.
I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.
