Bet! So FOREVER FOR THE CULTURE: NOTES FROM THE NEW BLACK DIGITAL ARTS RENAISSANCE was selected to be featured at #CultureCon bookstore this year! Make sure to grab your copy and to support my fellow amazing Black Authors when walking the halls. Thank you!
The pride and love I have for Lil Nas X is encapsulated in an entire chapter of Forever for the Culture
A Different World got me thinking of my college life lmao
Is there a way to follow people i follow here on #BlackSky?
You might recognize a certain pro-Black hyperopinionated self righteous Author on a bookshelf at Culture Con. 💜
My community of Black Authors and Booksellers have really come thru for me with hearts and advocacy of action in light of recent news that will soon be shared. I felt like a failure. I still do. But that is the insidiousness of the machine grinding creativity through tied hands and cold platitudes.
A list of comic characters people didn't know were sorcerers
I can either finish this chapter of my Middle Grade Coming of Age Horror, I can finish the comic pitch or I can finish this pilot. All three cannot be done today I fear.
And when I say I love Step Up I mean all the movies except the first. I LITERALLY cant remember what happened in ts. I think Mario was in it or something.
Who do i have to bribe to write some Magic the Gathering stories?!
Just ordered cured salmon from Ralphs. Will report back on if it stacks up to the $100 Cured Salmon Law Roach made me eat
Since when did mentorship preface itself with breaking your spirit?
Aint no way John let a Funko Pop talk to him like that #Lanterns
Loving these ATL pride videos. It really shows the togetherness of our community. 😊
And let it be known: yes, all Black nerd creatives know each other and talk and ride for each other. So come correct or you will be traveling alone.
There is a difference between being someone who cares about good things, being someone who desires good treatment and being a good person.
Everyone pretended to read White Fragility in 2019 but can't act like the words sunk in?
A Black woman observing Hal Jordan was racist for that line and behavior is really as plain as a bird noting a cat just purred. Because that line was a racist macroaggression. Not micro. That shit was overt and obnoxious.
And when i say i dont care about final boys in horror, I dont mean the Hyper Competent Black boys who survived by saying fuck alluvthat kiddy shit
