  • WHAT THE NAACP MEANS TO ME // 'BLACK MEDIA SPEAKS' VIRTUAL PANEL #BLACKLIVESMATTER ✊🏾👏🏾🙌🏾👍🏾🙏🏾✨ . . Since the senseless murder of George Floyd, Amy Cooper's antics, and other discussion of black lives being taken by white supremacists and police brutality, it's important for us to showcase black media. When I can't speak on certain issues, when I don't have the words, I go to black media sources who can share my pain, frustrations, and healing abilities. One of them is the NAACP: National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. . . This organization is very important to me because it showcases the same values and morals that I stand for as a 27-year-old Black woman. This organization has been around since way before I was born, they just recently celebrated their 111th anniversary. I hope they are around in the next generation so my future black babies can see and recognize it. . .

  • 💚💚 THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO // THIS GAVE ME MY FIRST BOOK HANGOVER // 💚💚 • Excerpt of my latest review: I finished this book 3 days ago, and I still have trouble wrapping my mind around exactly how I feel about it. The characters, the settings, the atmosphere, the character-building, the seven husbands!! It seems very confusing and extreme for one woman to have seven husbands, but once you read it for yourself, you'll understand why. Evelyn Hugo was more than just her name and her celebrity. She knew she wasn't a good person, but that didn't make her a bad person. . I'm not bisexual, as I've mentioned in my other reviews -- I'm straight, but I do have bisexual/gay friends, and from them, and also from reading Evelyn's perspective, I understand how frustrating it must be to be dismissed of your attraction to both men and women. . Taylor Jenkins Reid's writing works if you're interested in the characters themselves because Taylor knows how to describe almost every detail in Evelyn's life, basically from beginning to end. • Read the full review on my blog: http://poetrybooksya.blogspot.com/2020/05/the-seven-husbands-of-evelyn-hugo-this.html . #allthebooksmay20 - Last 5 star read ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #thesevenhusbandsofevelynhugo #evelynhugo #taylorjenkinsreid #lgbt #bisexualgirls #bookstagram #bookreview #blogger #bookblogger #njblogger #bookhangover #classichollywood #hollywood #oldschool
