Imagine crashing and your car doors won’t open. It’s happened to several people—and it’s deadly. I introduced a law to make sure electric cars, including Teslas, have a manual door latch in emergencies. Plain and simple: you should be able to get out of your car when it matters most.

New week, new reading goals. I am immersive reading Viola Davis “Finding Me” and A.E. Valdez “A Worthy Love” this week. I have also read my Bible ten days in a row. I’m proud of myself for sticking with my goals so far this year. 🎧📚 #blackbooksky #booksky #hoopla #libby #kindle

In my feelings because football seasons is winding down. One college football game to go and the NFL is in the playoffs.

OMG, y’all! Cover reveal for HONEY GODDESS 🐝my new #romantasy novel, coming August 18th. I am SO excited and proud of this generational romantic fantasy story. 🍯 And TBH I’m thrilled, nervous and kind of terrified, all at the same time to post it.✨ #romance #blacksky #booksky #fantasy #atr

My Christmas break is officially over. I will start the countdown to Mardi Gras break. 😖 I’m not checking my work email until I get to work. #teacherlife #teacherbackonduty

DAMN!!! 🤯 #nfl

The Pitt vs Ravens game never lets me down #nfl

Me too

SMDH #nfl

The Ravens defense is not making the big stops 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ #nfl

I’ve finished Uncommon Favor & More Than My Mistakes on yesterday. This week I will be reading The Beginning of Forever & The Taken Ones. 🎧📚 Have a great full first week of January! #blackbooksky #booksky

Saw a post yesterday of someone on TikTok judging another reader claiming they have read 6 books so far this year. 🤦🏾‍♀️ I could care less how many books a person reads or does not read. It’s not a competition. This discourse is beyond tired. #blackbooksky #booksky

The Buddhist monks on a "Walk for Peace" toward Washington are urging streamers not to follow them everywhere they go "We don't want this to become something people chase after"

I like using Fable & StoryGraph to document my readings. However, I liked keeping a physical journal too. Are you using a digital or physical journal to document your reading journey? 📚🎧 #blackbooksky #booksky

Kicking off the year reading my Bible, finishing a book I started yesterday, and reading “Uncommon Favor” by Dawn Staley. Yes, I added the Bible to my currently reading list. I’m determined to finish it this year. Used a gift card to buy the digital copy of this Bible📚🎧 #booksky #blackbooksky

Mary Sheffield was sworn in as Detroit’s 76th mayor, becoming the first woman to hold the office in the city's 324-year history

My 2025 Reading Wrap-up! I read 190 books and my goal was 150. My 2026 reading goal is 120 due to some other goals that take priority. However, I may update this goal later this year. 📚🎧 #booksky #blackbooksky

My December Reading Wrap-up 📚🎧 #booksky #blackbooksky

Happy New Year Sky Family!!

Clocked in all year. Prepared. Unafraid. Always with the receipts. Keeping that same energy all 2026.

My challenge for everyone, including myself, for 2026 is to be intentionally about YOUR happiness. I’ve already purchased a ticket to see a ballet next month. One ticket for myself. 😊 Make your happiness a priority! 🙏🏾🫶🏾

Great thing about being off work is watching football, college basketball, and reading until my eyes get tired. How have you been spending your time off?

My ultimate reading goal is to read at least 20 minutes everyday. I have been trying to encourage my students to do the same. Today I hit a reading goal that wasn’t on my bingo card, reading 400 days in a row 🤯🤯🤯 📚🎧 I’m currently reading The Hellcat Barbies: Imani #blackbooksky #booksky

Getting in some reading time before I make my rounds today. Scored to great books from BookBuds today. 📚🎧 #booksky #blackbooksky

Merry Christmas Sky Family! Happy Day to those who do not celebrate! Enjoy your loved ones and family! 🎧📚🎄☃️🧑🏾‍🎄🎅🏾🎁❤️💚

IG and TT 🤦🏾‍♀️🤣🤣🤣

I recently finished reading The Scammer & Christmas in the Trenches (need to read Rumor Has It first). Currently reading Brimstone & With Love This Christmas. 📚🎧 #booksky #blackbooksky

I was proud to stand alongside faith leaders, mayors, public safety officials, and community advocates today to condemn the chaos ICE is creating in our communities, and reaffirm our commitment to public safety.

I have been rewatching Stranger Things since it’s been years since I’ve watched. I’m glad I’m rewatching it because the first two seasons are good. I’m half way through season two.

I have been straddling the fence very hard on deleting IG. TL filled with ads, reels, and AI pics people created instead of sharing real pics. Social media has gotten worse over the years. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

I was supposed to slow my reading down during the first half of this year and that did not happen. 🤦🏾‍♀️ I absolutely have to do that next year due to my upcoming schedule. How do you plan your reading? 🎧📚 #booksky #blackbooksky

I have three books I want to finish by the end of this month. What’s on you TBR for the remainder of this year? 🎧📚 #booksky #blackbooksky

Betty Reid Soskin, the National Park Service’s oldest ranger, has died. She was 104.

I have been reading several books this week, but I Medusa is hands down a great read. I love when an author retells a story and change your perspective on a character you already read about. 📚🎧 🐍 #blackbooksky #booksky

"It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner. We are heartbroken by this sudden loss, and we ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time," the Reiner family said in a statement

I try to sprinkle historic fiction in my TBR, but some stories are way to detailed with the trauma. Historical fiction can definitely be achieved without the extreme traumatic details. 🤦🏾‍♀️ Just my book thoughts. #booksky

I’m so proud of the talented Leo High School Choir and all they are doing to represent the South Side of Chicago!

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

DALLAS (AP) — Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett launches bid for U.S. Senate in Texas, looking to flip a Republican-held seat.

Lamar was holding the ball like a new mother all game. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ Not surprised this game ended with him being sacked. #nfl

The way some people want to argue on the socials over the most irrelevant things. It’s okay if you do not agree with someone’s opinion especially when you are wrong. My socials have been peaceful because I am not having a cyber fight.

The Ravens 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ This is why I can only be pissed off by one team in the #nfl

I never read a book by the author who is trending for the description she made in a book about dark skin looking dirty. This also further proves why people need to explore authors and genres themselves. I stress this to my students all the time. #booksky #blackbooksky

I HATE when I read a standalone book and the ending does not provide closure to the plot. To make it worst, their is no epilogue or author’s notes to provide answers. Some characters deserve closure and yes I know these people are not real. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤣🤣 #booksky #booktok

My November Reading wrap-up included 16 books completed and 1 book DNFed. How was your reading for the month of November? 📚🎧 #blackbooksky #booksky #readingwrapup

I’m ending the last day of the month and my Thanksgiving Break with a cozy novella. Also, watching football. I how you ending this month? 📚🎧 #blackbooksky #booksky #kindleunlimited

Reading the scene of Q at basketball practice & saying to myself “Has @authorninahigh been spying on my practice?” 🤣Teaching or coaching is not for the weak. Coaching middle school girls will humble you & break all in the same day. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤣Mrs. High has never let me down with this series. #blackbooksky

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving/Friendsgiving/Familygiving surrounded by the people you love. 🦃🥧🍗 #HappyThanksgiving #HappyFriendsgiving #BeThankful

Book mail today. I’m excited about reading this one too. “Medusa” by Ayana Gray 💚🐍📚🎧 #blackbooksky #booksky
