'Contemporary supporters of so-called “woke” doctrines have endured the same treatment—but referring to white Americans as negrophiles is unacceptable by today’s social standards...'

The term is applicable by today's standard to include a wide swath of concerns. From A to Z, everything and everyone hated by the prejudiced becomes a part of the attack on civil rights.

“Hiram, I could run right now, even free as I am, run from nothing, run right past them mountains, past all the rivers…and then after all that, I could run some more” “For memory is the chariot, and memory is the way, and memory is bridge from the curse of slavery to the boon of freedom” “The light of freedom had been reduced to embers, but it was still shining in me…I kept running, bent, loping, locked, but running all the same, with my whole chest aflame” It’s been a long wait, but this magnificent slow building story was one of the best I’ve ever read. Coates did an excellent job diving into the well of slavery and giving light to the ugly and ruined bits. Exploring the “love” between master and servant; discussions on being liberated from man; and highlighting the power of memory-this story encompassed all that and more as I joined Hiram through his journey. I never felt bored in this story. It’s lush descriptions and honest dialogue open many doors regarding the issue of identity, slavey, and abolitionism and its true intent. Even Corrine Quinn was something of a character that I couldn’t quite place, which made the story even better. A story that supports abolitionism,what it means to be free, and the power of memory and what it can do. Five stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #booksaremyfriends #booksarecool #booksarefun #booksarethebest #bookreviewer #bookrecommendation #bookishfeature #bookishglee #bookbloggers #bookbloggerlife #readingislife #readingismagic #readingislit #readingisawesome #bookreviewersofinstagram #mybookfeatures #bookreview #readingcommunity #wednesdaypost #blackstories https://www.instagram.com/p/Cds6eLIOsjt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

•·.·'the awkward black girl'·.·•

I thought about using ChatGPT to generate prompts for my first blog because I don’t know how to form topics that can express my own emotions.

That’s a hell of a first sentence. I’ll start with something easier.

My name is Sage (not really, but it’s easier than being me). At age 19, I’ve done most things - college and my first boyfriend, which is a lot considering who I am.

I had no intention of starting a ‘blog’, but my best friend (let’s call her Amethyst) called me at the ass crack of dawn, asking if I wanted to read her essay about deconstructing her faith. That’s a crazy sentence, I know. Stay with me. When she got off the phone, I glanced up at the Creative Gods and winced. They gave me another idea, and I hate that I enjoyed it. What else am I supposed to do - just let it dwindle in me until I rot completely?

So, here I am with my blog named the awkward black girl.

I think I resonate with this name more than my own (my actual name, not Sage). Before you ask, I’ve never seen Issa Rae’s show. I didn’t even know it existed until I searched it while writing this sentence. (Excuse me while I contemplate whether or not I even like that name).

I'm not expecting anything to happen with this blog at all. I'll be lucky if someone just glances at these words in passing. I just want something or somewhere to put all my thoughts into play and see them as for what they are and not what they will turn into if I let them fester.

(Fester means to rot basically, so it's the word I'm looking for, but in this sense, it doesn't seem right. Maybe, I meant to settle, but that doesn't fit either. I need a dictionary with me at all times.)

I'm hoping that someone discovers this blog and finds their place. I think that's what all little black girls are looking for; a place of their own. They can have this one. I'm willing to share if that means anything to anyone who's reading.

Everyone is welcome, to be honest, but these experiences will not resonate (this is the second time using this word. I need a thesaurus too) with everyone. Like a menu that caters to a rich person's appetite, this blog caters to a black girl, struggling, thriving, and just living.

Welcome home, black girl, you've been missed.

Congratulations, Ayana Gray!!!! Have you read BEASTS OF PREY and BEASTS OF RUIN? Are you as excited as we are for the @netflix TV adaption screenplay written by @melodycooperfilm?!? Reposted @ayanagray_ On its surface, BEASTS OF PREY is wish fulfillment, the story of two Black kids (a warrior-in-training and a beastkeeper at a magical zoo) who go on an epic mission into a magical jungle to hunt down a monster. Within its pages though, I like to think there’s a bit more there. It’s the story of two teens grappling with grief, trauma, and the overwhelming fear of finding their place within their communities and world. It’s a story that celebrates Black history and mythologies, while hopefully opening up new worlds for kids to question and explore. It is a book that has changed my life in many big ways, but so many tiny ones. Thank you to everyone around the world who has embraced BOP in all her fullness. Thanks to my agent, @petejknapp, for believing in her first, and thanks to the wonderful team at @penguinteen for giving her a home to grow up within. Of course, thanks to the many readers, educators, family, and friends, who have championed this book and series from the very beginning. My heart is full with gratitude. #ayanagray #beastsofprey #yafantasy #yafantasyseries #bookbirthday #yalit #bookstagram #booktok #blackstories #blackstoriesmatter #blackstorieshavepower #storyteller #fantasybooks #blackcreatives (at Sistah Scifi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqA-Lbir8eK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
