The book that wrecked me. COME! JULY 12th! Let’s go outside-outside, low key, to Vroman's Bookstore for: THE MAJORITY by Elizabeth Silver. Elizabeth L. Silver The first time I read this book, I thought, SH*T! Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg can never die…or else women are screwed.

Two literary & attorney powerhouses: Natashia Deon in convo with Elizabeth L. Silver about her latest book, #TheMajority. I read it in manuscript form & absolutely loved it. Liz looks back to give us deeper vision into the present. A monumental work! Get your copy!

In 1 day, yesterday, since the end of Affirmative Action, 4 Black women leaders let go. I write about this cycle and how Black women lose first in my 1930s novel THE PERISHING. You can’t break a cycle you can’t see or choose not to see.

Just a reminder…

The official unveiling of the John Lewis Forever Stamp will take place on July 21 at Morehouse College in Atlanta. ❤️ #forever Happy 4th!
