Community Updates:
Congratulations to Amy Gabrielle on the Publication of her book Widow in the City! Her poignant story of grief, love and reinvention is powerful and moving.
Congratulations to Menah Adeola Eyaside Pratt for winning the Literary Global Independent Author Awards for autobiography. Blackwildgirl: A Writer’s Journey to Take Back Her Superpower is a 45-year journey, based on 45 years of journals. Inspired by Alice Walker’s journals, Jasmine Mans’ poetry, bell hooks’ black girlhood story, Audre Lorde’s biomythography, Nikki Giovanni’s poems, Maya Angelou’s autobiographies, and Clarissa Pinkola Estes’ indigenous stories, Blackwildgirl is a deeply reflective autobiography of acts, stages, scenes, and letters to Love beginning at the age of eight. It is a twelve stage initiation journey through journals to reclaim what was lost in a bargain made by Pratt's parents without her consent–her childhood queen superpower. Kathleen loved working with Menah; purchase her incredible book here.
