These chicken #skewers — blending flavors of coconut, peanut, garlic, ginger, paprika, and more — are a tribute #Harlem's vibrant #food culture.
I used to argue with journalists about whether voting was a conflict of interest! IMO some people take it to extremes in an attempt to appear unbiased, when you should just make your potential biases clear. But I wish content creators had separate business people -- that's a downside to atomization

The New York Amsterdam News’ staff stands today on the shoulders of giants. Numerous luminaries, Civil Rights icons, and cultural heavyweights remembered across the country this and every Black History Month can be found in the bylines throughout the newspaper’s 116-year history. #BlackHistoryMonth
Thank to everyone who came to @mysteriousbookshop.com last night to see me read from FIVE FUNERALS! Sorry there was no dancing. Also sorry I am so rumpled, I will do better.

BLACK NEW YORKER: Every third Wednesday of the month, Maria Davis presents “Mad Wednesdays,” a music showcase at Shrine in #Harlem. She’s been a #music industry insider for more than 35 years, working with #artists like Jay Z who featured her on his 1996 classic album “Reasonable Doubt.”
I can’t stop thinking about this.
Also I don't charge you to look at my blog! It's free! You don't have to subscribe! And there's no advertising there! No pop ups! Just pure untrammeled words, images and occasional music, created by actual humans! Digital content by analog people! Endearingly handcrafted since 1998!
After a standout college career at Coastal Carolina University, outside hitter Leah Hardeman knew she wasn’t done playing competitive #volleyball. Hardeman dreamed of playing in the U.S. where she could inspire girls of color to consider the sport that she loved.

Wait. Consequences? On this side of the Atlantic?
