Every sentence in Daphne Palasi Andreades's Brown Girls is electric. Everyone needs this book in their lives ❤️

An absolute honor to make the top 10 shortlist for the VCU Cabell First Novelist Award VCU Cabell First Novelist Award! w/ so many authors I admire including Elaine Hsieh Chou & Mecca Jamilah Sullivan 💓 Overjoyed that Brown Girls continues to reach readers!

The quote beside my desk reads, “Never worry about being obsessive. I like obsessive people. Obsessive people make great art.” -Susan Sontag ⚡️ Letting myself (continue to) obsess for this next book! & for whoever needs to hear it: I think you should let yourself obsess too ✨💅

writers who listen to music while y’all draft: what have you been listening to these days? 👀 for me, it’s been Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky, though I’ve never seen a ballet in my life 😂🦢 i just love the feeling the music evokes ✨✨✨

another book + bag rotation & mini review! i really enjoyed this book. it was a read that felt familiar to me, and one that i think many black + brown girls could see themselves reflected in 🤍 there’s just something about feeling seen, and this book made me feel exactly that.

Huge admirer of Jenn Baker (she/her) & the work she’s done advocating for BIPOC writers in publishing & beyond. Her recent Electric Literature essay was incredible, and is a must-read. electricliterature.com/black-women-ar…
