If you’ve already read my book Take My Hand, you know what this Supreme Court decision will mean for black, brown, poor, disabled women. You know that the most vulnerable among us are being targeted. You know this.

@avaduvernayfans @greg_vaughan Was my friend Natalie Baszile there, the original author of Queen Sugar the novel?

I highly recommend Harriet Washington’s Medical Apartheid as a source of the history of medical racism in this country. For anyone who is stunned by what happens in my book, Washington will contextualize the problematic history of experimentation on the Black body.

I am so excited to recommend Emily Raboteau’s new book LESSONS FOR SURVIVAL. This collection of essays is transformative, y’all. I haven’t stopped thinking about it!

Happy pub day to @lindavillarosa whose new book UNDER THE SKIN comes out tomorrow. It’s a book about race and medicine and I’m excited to read!

This appreciation of beauty gets its moment in the book in ways that are both philosophical and intimate…Wallace’s aesthetic appreciation of language echoes in poetic sentences that craft metaphor with ease and wrap the reader in an evocative cocoon of powerful witnessing.

Y’all this book is a must-read. Let me tell you something. I would pre-order if I were you. Soooo good.

Do y’all know about my talented friend @Writer1949 Dahlma Llanos-Figueroa’s new book A WOMAN OF ENDURANCE which comes out next week, the same day as mine? We are good friends! Buy both of our books if you can!! https://t.co/8UD3SUxFFr
