I know I should be promoting my book. I'm dealing with some things that have made it difficult to do much else—even promote this work that I love and that is so beautiful. I want to. But, life. I hope it finds its way to you. More than that, I hope you're finding ways to live in spite of this world.

i am reminded that in moments of tyranny, our imagination ffor better & for black futures is the first thing to be seized. for my 5th (!) annual 28 films for the 28 days of black history month, i highlighted 28 black cinematic visions of resistance, childlike wonder, and unending imagination:

To commemorate the release of A Sense of Arrival, I crafted a black gin. Then, in the spirit of the season, I made some Ponche de Creme—three flavors. They're all really good. — Visit @dukepress.bsky.social to purchase your copy. Use code E24BRWNE to save 30% www.dukeupress.edu/a-sense-of-a...

"A Sense of Arrival is... a beautiful and welcome invitation to think what work nonfiction might do toward freedom and what it might be and require to work toward freedom. This book has much to offer; there is so much brilliance here.”—Christina Sharpe @hystericalblkns.bsky.social So moved by this.

This is my mother's hand as she regards a portrait of herself, which appears in A Sense of Arrival from @dukepress.bsky.social. In parts, I rely solely on her words—words of iron—as they helped shape my earliest understandings of arrival. I am so very grateful to share this moment with her.

Made from love.

Allyuh, mih book in de world, and it beautiful! In timing that couldn't be more perfect, my copies have just arrived! It is a stunningly beautiful book, more so in my hands. Thanks to @dukepress.bsky.social for this gift, for helping me bring into the world what I have dared to imagine.

This is my Christmas present to myself. Can’t wait to read it.

If you follow me, you'll know I don't say much on here—haven't for a while, even in the other place. So I hope you bear with me as I say a bit more in days to come. Most of what I have to say will be about this book, the making of which has meant so many things for me.

I'm very pleased to announce that my new book, A SENSE OF ARRIVAL, is now available!!! Preorders are already on their way!
