Let’s celebrate National Library Week! Throughout the history of the U.S., people have been fighting for the right to read because literacy is powerful. We are facing book bans because of the power words have to be catalysts, reflections, & tools of connection & liberation. 1/3 #booksky #bookbans

I was not expecting to read about my hometown in the book, but here we are! An African American and Latinx History of the United States by Paul Ortiz #UShistory #bookstagram #kissimmee #florida

I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail. Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

I can't believe I forgot to share my Janurary reads w/y'all! Better late than never, I guess. I read 5 books & most of them were audio because my brain was not cooperating w/ reading print & e-books. Here are the books I read & my mini reviews. www.bookishafrolatina.com/post/january... #booksky

Book Review: Until The Clock Strikes Midnight

Until the Clock Strikes Midnight was the perfect cozy book to read for some much-needed escapism.

Debí Tirar Más Fotos and "The Bunny Bowl"

A Black Queer History of the United States I feel very strongly about understanding what led up to the time we’re in. This can help us understand our elders, peers, & ourselves. It also reminds us that our world wasn’t always this way! We can imagine new futures just as our ancestors did. #booksky

This Black history month, instead of making lists & recommending the same books you do every year, invest in bringing more Black writers into the world. Subscribe to my publishing community for $5 or $12 and invest in the work we are doing to champion authors in the margins. We need your help.

As someone with a chronic illness, it's been kind of hard to feel like I'm doing enough for The Cause. So aside from calling reps and striking today, I finished reading The Chainbreakers by Julian Randall. It filled my cup when I was drained. (1/5) #Booksky #Resistance #IceOut #TheChainbreakers

In case you haven't seen this yet: Friday, Jan. 20, 2026 is the official date of the next national strike/shutdown to protest ICE & DHS, inspired by the work of community organizers in the Twin Cities. Go to nationalshutdown.org for more information. #Booksky #ShutItDown
