Zakiya Dalila Harris’s debut is a brilliant combustion of suspense, horror, and social commentary that leaves no assumption unchallenged and no page unturned.
So happy for actress and mother Gabrielle Union and her husband NBA legend Dwyane Wade on the release of their children’s picture book ☛SHADY BABY [pub: HarperCollins] based on their own monikered “shady baby” Kaavia James.

ICYMI: Rapper Raekwon the Chef announced the release of his fall memoir yesterday ☛FROM STAIRCASE TO STAGE: THE STORY OF RAEKWON AND THE WU-TANG CLAN [pub: Gallery Books], written with Anthony Bozza, on his Instagram yesterday.

What a dream come true this is! It still astounds me to think that what began as a college essay a few years ago has made it all the way to ABC. No duo I’d rather work with to bring Greyboy to life than @yarashahidi & @chocolatemommyluv Let’s get to work!
Join me in conversation with Dr. Janice Johnson Dias this Saturday, April 17th at 4 p.m. EST, where we’ll discuss her incredible, revolutionary book ☛PARENT LIKE IT MATTERS: HOW TO RAISE JOYFUL, CHANGE-MAKING GIRLS [pub: Ballantine Books].
