I put my other books on pause for right now to get into Kendrick’s story real quick. Currently on the chapter around his trip to South Africa, shortly after he lost to Macklemore at the Grammys for best rap album 🥴🥴. The trip turned out to be a pivotal moment in his career and also helped him pull together TPAB. Really good read so far.

Still working on “Stony the Road” but decided to close out the year (or at least try) by adding this to my reading list as well. . Another one of America’s untold stories: From 1915-1970 around 6 million black people fled the south in search of a better life in northern and western cities - making it a major turning point in history. I believe this exodus definitely played a role in the start of the civil rights movement. The book follows the journey of three black people fle

There are a number of reasons to book a photography session but it's the requests that are scheduled "just because" that hit different.

Picked this up with an interest in learning more about the Reconstruction era - a period, from my understanding, that was supposed to guarantee basic rights to newly freed slaves in the South but failed. (FYI: the author’s name is Henry Louis Gates - my thumb is covering the “G”).

This location in Northern Virginia made for a perfect spot to hold a lifestyle session. I'm sure the residents that live in this area are...

Only a few pages in so I don’t have much of a review. She opens with a chapter dedicated to women empowerment (embracing your own beauty + style, explaining the #metoo movement while sharing her own personal experiences, and black womanhood). Random but I didn’t know that her and Wale almost got into a fight at the Roots Picnic one year 😩. Anyway as a fan of, arguably, the most misunderstood and unapologetic woman out here, I’m interested in this read.

When the importation of slaves was outlawed in 1807, close to 2 million Africans were still brought into America illegally until 1860 - Cudjo Lewis was one. This book is the only known narrative of an enslaved African brought into America after 1808. He gives his account of being taken from Africa, sold into slavery and having to make a life in Mobile, Alabama after slavery was abolished - since he couldn’t afford to go back home. (FYI: “Barracoon” is Spanish for holding cell
