There couldn’t possibly be a better time to read Octavia Butler.
-It’s 2025 just like in the text.
-We are here NOW in so many ways she predicted.
-The graphic novel version is gorgeous.
Plus it’s Black History Month!

What I also know is that there won't be easy solutions. But we can all decide to boycott overconsumption. Take that racial capitalism!

Good news out of Philly today.

We need every win. Especially since the coalition was TIRELESS.

NYE at 11:23pm, I completed a goal set 1/24 to submit my 1st book proposal.

I didn’t think I’d make it but an amazing community of Black women pushed me to the finish line. 2025 will be dedicated to making sure I make good on this title.

I don’t even be outside, let alone downtown Philly, like that…but tonight, I randomly drove by Giovanni’s Room. When I realized it, I spun the block to get a pic cause…whoa.

In her poem Nikki-Rosa, Nikki Giovanni wrote,
“Black love is Black wealth”
First, those words made me feel seen as a young girl growing up in the inner city.

Then they became a knowing, a comfort, truth, and guidepost for living this life.

Thank you, dear poet.
Fly on. 🕊️

What will you do for yourself before the day takes you away?

For me: some yoga + some poetry

Good morning! ☀️
