Black Women Authors expanded, continue to expand my  world.

The authors shown above are my favorite. Hopefully, if you haven’t read their work you will make time to do so. Wondrous works.

                                        Black Women Authors, Writers….

They mend our souls over so many obstacles, over so many other things, for so many years. Soul-reachers. Soul-Soothers. Confidence makers. Our next-phase- encouragers. Hope-pushers for the discouraged. Dream creators.

                                 Girl. Teen. Lady. Woman. Queen. Wisdom.

                                                         We are royalty. 

Our “I am” Warrioresses….we know how to hold on, we know how to let go, how to breathe…with their words. Words grouped into stories, poetry, truth fabricated to educate, enhance, imagine, explore, to start, to stop and to begin again, to finish.

Soul-reveal reads! They are our forever writers. Ase Ase.

Celebrate Herstory. We are amazing by choice!

A. Michelle

    Thanks for adding Octavia -my favorite writing role-model. (ok, I no longer write SF, for the moment, but still, her themes far transcended any genre…).
    Safe Hugs if wanted, Shira

      Thank you for pointing out my “fail”.💚 She was on my mind when writing. Her writing set a new precedence for me. SF, completely awesome. Love her I do. Don’t think I can write as intricately… What a gift!

        My father used to say that I put ppl on the spot, and that I needed to learn how not to do that -guess I still need to learn. But thanks, much love, Safe Hugs, Shira

        It is a gift….some people need to be put on the spot. Octavia Butler is a treasure. I knew you meant well. Again, thank you!
