Used to teach this in my #AuthorsOfColor class; off the graphic novel #Incognegro. I would tie the history of Walter White to the author of the book, Mat Johnson to the history of The Great Migration, to the history of lynching to the unjust deaths of Emmett Till and Tamir Rice. https://t.co/wOWpmmyYDS

#ICYMI: last night was fire - Houston's downtown had 2 writers celebrating book releases - @Librotraficante's "The Tip of the Pyramid" and @jzsalvipoet's "Solito", less than a block from each other. There were more than 800+ Latinx celebrating books. Don't say we don't read.

Something has shifted in me a little. I feel less ragged, less strapped down. I finished Olio a week and a half ago and then quickly picked up "THE DAY OF SHELLY'S DEATH" by Renato Rosaldo and ate that in one sitting. Reading centers me. Now I am rereading this: https://t.co/VFoH3TVeXn
