Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.

I might be moving back to LA next year. Quite possibly. Definitely. I hope so?🙃 I hope to connect with any one interested who lives out there and. Go. To. The movies! Because that’s mostly what I’ll be doing. That and lots of eating. And beach. I miss the beach.

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky
