The late cartoonist Morrie Turner played a HUGE role in my becoming a cartoonist. But many people don’t know about a Black woman cartoonist who was a pioneer in the field nearly 3 decades earlier in the 1930s! Check out JACKIE ORMES and TORCHY BROWN! wednesdayswomen.com/jackie-ormes...

THIS is my Sentiment

“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.” ― Toni Morrison That is exactly what I'm doing! There is a LOT out there, but I want books for and by Black people don't leave me feeling insulted or demoralized after reading. I started writing them.

It's FANTASTIC being a Black writer!
