#JuliaChinn is heading to New England! Join me on Mon, Jan 27, for a talk and signing at @unecgh.bsky.social. I'm excited to see Maine for the first time, even in January. Lol. #books #history #writing #authors #Blacksky

I recorded a podcast for @kyhistsoc.bsky.social last summer, and the episode just dropped this morning! Check it out and spend some time with #JuliaChinn. #Blacksky #AcademicSky

Humbled that "The Vice President’s Black Wife" received an honorable mention for the #ABWH2024 Letitia Woods Brown book prize! There's nothing better than being recognized by your sister scholars!! #BlackSky #JuliaChinn #BlackWomen #BlackHistory

This is an odd space. I keep getting new followers, but no one likes or comments on my posts. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Here are pics of my weekend companion. Not terribly talkative, but a super cuddler! #dogs

Memphis! The way you hosted me is beyond description. The meals, the museum tour, the attention to every detail from pickup & lecture to book signing & drop-off! And, I was able to see friends, former students, & mentors, plus meet fantastic scholars! My cup runneth over. Thank you!! #juliachinn
