I purchased my trade paperback copy—published in January 2020 by Penguin Random House imprint Vintage International—from Washington, DC, bookstore Busboys & Poets while visiting my parents over the holidays. I actually started reading it on the train this morning. #books #AmReading #ReadBlackWomen

Jordan died of breast cancer in 2002 (I feel fortunate to have seen her read before she passed), but the #poetry she left us with is a guide for living, especially for #BlackWomen. It’s a gift, one that I need to sit with, which is why I said I’m not finished with this book. #LGBTQIA #ReadBlackWomen

Revisiting Assata Shakur's autobiography again today.

If you haven't read #Assata you are missing out.

At times heartbreaking, frustrating, bewildering. Her ability to highlight problems still prevalent in modern america hits the gut. Also she's hilarious.

I know I'm having a good day when the only crisis I'm willing to let live free in my mind is: which of the books I'm reading is coming to the hammock with me?

Angela Davis: An Autobiography, edited by Toni Morrison and first published by Random House in 1974, covers Davis’s early life and early years in the struggle for Black liberation. It’s part of my personal library, and I think I’m perhaps overdue to reread it. ✊🏾📚 #books #BlackWomen #ReadBlackWomen

Davis was encouraged to write her 1974 autobiography by Morrison, who also edited it while working as an editor at Random House. Here’s my favorite photo of the two taken by Jill Krementz in 1974.

On what may be one of the last summer-like days of the year, I’m outside during lunch reading Octavia Butler’s 1980 novel Wild Seed. #amreading #ReadBlackWomen
