Love this line from A Love Song for Ricki Wilde from @tiawilliams.bsky.social ”Richard Wilde, Senior, an impeccably suited gentleman who was not a debauched megachurch pastor, but looked like one”

Happy A Love Song for Ricki Wilde Paperback Edition Day! (I’m turning everything into a holiday as a coping mechanism 😂.) So excited to share this stunning softcover version with y’all. www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/tia-w...

A lot of white romance readers are going to dip into Black romance, which is great though I’ll remind you it’s not just for February! I also recommend white readers learn context. The nine episodes of Black Romance Has a History look at 1994, a pivotal year for Black romance. blackromancehistory.com

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

There are so many books written by Black women authors about Black girlhood that are in print right now that deserve a chance to be seen on the big and small screen. I’ve compiled a list of some of these that you may have missed! #booksky #blacksky #blackbooksky open.substack.com/pub/shannami...

Black History is American History.

Softcover girlies — the paperback edition of A LOVE SONG FOR RICKI WILDE is almost upon us! Till Feb. 3rd, preorder from your favorite retailer, and then upload proof-of-purchase to get this *Wilde Thing* bracelet! Click & scroll down to upload: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/tia-w... 🌺🎹

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
