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!
