Keep me posted on the latest book releases, signings, conferences and conversations.
Happiest of Pub Days to Tayari Jones! The Spelman alum’s fourth novel ☛AN AMERICAN MARRIAGE [pub: Algonquin Books] drops today!
Listen. I finished this incredible read in less than a week. In fact, I forced myself to put it down after the first two chapters simply because I wanted to slowly savor each character’s complex desires before fully ingesting their simple needs.
☛WHEN THEY CALL YOU A TERRORIST: A BLACK LIVES MATTER MEMOIR by Patrisse Khan-Cullors and asha bandele [pub: St. Martin’s Press] drops next Tuesday, January 16, 2017. These powerful sistas are also headed on a nationwide book tour. First stop: The Schomburg next Tuesday at 6:30pm.
I spent Thursday evening in the company of splendid women, women of splendor in fact.
My daughter.
Nikki Giovanni.
MSNBC’s Joy Ann Reid
My friends Elon Johnson and Dawn Julian.
And numerous more.
Thank you Nikki Giovanni and The Schomburg Center for bringing us all together in Harlem…
My soul needs this…
☛REST IN POWER: THE ENDURING LIFE OF TRAYVON MARTIN. A PARENT’S STORY OF LOVE, INJUSTICE, AND THE BIRTH OF A MOVEMENT [pub: Spiegel & Grau] by Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin is a must read!
It was such an honor to attend Random House’s Big Ideas Night With The Parents of Trayvon Martin.
I love books.
I love a great cocktail.
And I live for a good convo paired with both.
You too?
Let's Get Lit.
