If I had a nickel for every time I read an amazing book by a Black female author named Toni...
At first I didn't get it... but like... I got it, you know? Like I get it but I don't. But I get it. And, for me personally, that's some of the best writing humanity has to offer.
Unrelated to the book, kinda, I think it's funny how the conversations the revolutionaries were having in the late 70s, almost 50 years ago, are the same conversations we're having now. Not funny haha, funny sad.
