I am becoming a bag person too 😭

All I know is now I have a definite built-in bias now and whenever there’s a Beyoncé show to catch, my brain is gonna be like LONDON!!!!!

See this is gonna be a problem. while both shows were 🔥I adored Beyoncé’s London show. Was it the outdoor stadium? The magic of watching a literal star perform under the stars? The fact that Tottenham Hotspur was leagues better than NRG as far as stadiums go IMO? I don’t know 😭😭😭😭.

Computer whizzes: If my MacBook Air is 5 years old, runs super slowly more often than not, and makes a very loud hissing/windy noise when I’m running it… does this mean it’s time for a new one 😅

I’m in my happy place for the weekend. It’s wild how much I love NYC 😭😭😭. I’m catching Othello tomorrow with my sis and mommy 💃🏾

We are!! In this house, Hennessy is a staple 🤣🤣🤣

Yessss!!!! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts 🥰

What unifies all of my books across Adult, YA, MG, fantasy, sci-fi, romance, contemp, & romantasy?

✨Black excellence
✨Black romance
✨Black pageantry
✨Black opulence
✨Black beauty

I’m always going to thread the above things into everything I create.

Publishing,girl, let me ask you something. When trad publishers throw up their Met Gala looks + books to match posts today, those lists are going to heavily spotlight Black books written by Black authors, right? Emphasis on the heavy. 🧐

Otherwise, you’ve missed the plot.

Yesss!!!

Only my son would score his first ever touchdown and run up to me and squeal: CAN I GO TO THE ZOO AND SEE THE KIMODO DRAGON AFTER THIS?!!!

Me: Yes baby. We’re headed to the zoo 💀

This kid is so unworried about his touchdown lol

This makes perfect sense!

Some writers weave gorgeous figurative language into their prose and I’m always in awe. I’m so curious if it’s a natural talent or if they actively grind away at weaving lush language in during revisions 🤯

*I’m asking for me. It’s a craft skill I want to work on for a future project 😅

Preorders help authors, especially BIPOC authors, so much! If you haven’t yet grabbed your copy of OUR VICIOUS OATHS, now is the perfect time 🙏🏾. It’s giving:
🫦Black shadow daddy
🫦enemies to lovers
🫦there’s only one throne
🫦touch her and die
🫦court intrigue
🫦bad@ss FMC

I love how much they look out for one another and how considerate they are with each other. I’m like whole adults need to learn this lesson 😭

I know 😭😭😭. He had me about to cry in the kitchen. I really hope they stay this close and never lose their bond.

But I love that he is so hardcore about preserving the magic for his sister with all these things

My son’s mind is super analytical & rooted in what he can see and prove concretely. So he’s never bought into the Easter Bunny/ Tooth Fairy, etc. Santa is the only thing he somewhat believes is real and even then he has major questions about how flying around the world is possible every year 💀.

My 5yo son this weekend: We should wait to stuff the eggs until Camaiya (his 4yo sister) isn’t around so she can keep believing that the easter bunny later them all around our yard. We shouldn’t tell her the truth until she’s like 6 or 7.

Me: 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Yup I’m already planning out a second viewing

Here’s my initial thoughts. I’m gonna wait until sometime next week to write something longer and with spoilers

✨The historical narrative aspect was also exceptionally well done. There’s so much rich imagery and thematic explorations

✨ The movie was poignant, smart, empowering, devastating, healing, joyful, sexy, horny (like that one review said), bloody. All of that.

✨It’s secondary characters aren’t just set pieces. The movie makes brilliant use of the whole entire cast and every single person on film felt fleshed out & multi-layered

✨The movie achieves what so few movies accomplish, which is weaving a romantic subplot into SFF and nailing it so freaking well.

My non-spoilers Sinners thoughts
✨The movie was storytelling— in any medium— at its absolute finest. The character arcs, the atmosphere, the immersion in setting, all of it was on point

Oh they were glowing 😂

No spoilers!!

This was always a Michael B Jordan stan account. But now after seeing Sinners it is also a Wunmi Mosaku, Hailee Steinfield, Li Jun Li, and Jayme Lawson stan account. Like the women fucking shined in Sinners . And that’s saying something because MBJ also just was sheer brilliance 😭😭😭😭

IT IS TIME!!

I had to take my own pic because my husband went to snap one for me and he did not like my pose with this movie poster 😂😂😂😂😂

Him: I ain’t feeling this. I ain’t feeling this at all💀

Ahhhh the news is out!!! I am SO beyond thrilled for my brilliant mentee whose story was no short of breathtaking!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Okay a coworker just suggested I check out Cedar Point as a really fun and less costly alternative to Disney/Universal. They claim it’s a “rollercoaster heaven and must do for all roller coaster enthusiasts”. Is this true?

Okay but why am I looking at Epic Universe tickets when I told these kids we aren’t doing it this summer 😅

Oh yeah because my 5yo gazed into my eyes this morning and said “I really want to go to see Toothless for my birthday” 🫠🫠🫠🫠
