Nothing beats coming home on #openingday! Thank you so much @EchoLogical for this amazing #Blisty swap package! I love everything so much, and I‘m so thrilled you included my favorite vegan treats! 💗 Happy Black History Month! Also, thank you @Chelleo for continuing to be such an amazing host for this swap- I literally look forward to our #BHMS all year! And thank you for the beautifully thoughtful card & bookmark.

EchoLogical Yay! I‘m glad it made it there in time. I kept checking the hashtags to see if you posted about receiving it. Lol. 2y
GreenGrl87 It did! So sorry to keep you waiting, I just got back in time and had to stop by my parents‘ house because they were picking up my packages for me. 2y
Chelleo Oh, those socks and that journal!! 2y
EchoLogical @GreenGrl87 Not your fault. I waited until the last minute to ship it because life! Lol. 2y

I am not a music head but I do have a few favorote albums and The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is one of them. I loved it from the first time I heard Doo Wop when I was 10 years old. This was a really interesting look at what this album meant for feminisim, and intersectionality. Helped me put im words a lot of the feelings I have when listening to Ms. Hill #blackgirlsrock #blackgirlmagic #blisty

Cinfhen Missed this but what a great choice 🎵🙌🏻 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Oooh, I‘d read this. Thanks! (On a side note, our kids‘ grandma used to take ballet class in NJ with Lauren and says she‘s lovely. Nana is 95 and still going to class, although not as able to do everything as she used to be.) (edited) 5y
sammisho @BarbaraTheBibliophage That is amazing! I would love to take a class with Lauryn (and grandma, she seems pretty cool too)! 5y
Chelleo Ohhhh stacking and noting #chelleotbr to track where I learned of this! 5y

An American Marriage | Tayari Jones

This book was on Obama's best of 2018 list and so it moved up on my TBR list. This story was much lighter than I expected, and was a quick read. I enjoyed Jones' prose and character development. I expected a grittier, darker story, and was pleasantly surprised by the way it ended. This book did take an important look at social justice and the prison system in america, while still telling a hopeful story.

Lmstraubie I liked the overall story, but had such a hard time connecting to the wife. She just kept making me annoyed and angry. 5y
sammisho @Lmstraubie Agreed! She was unlikeable, but made for a good story. 5y

A Raisin in the Sun | Lorraine Hansberry

This play, written in 1959, could have been set in 2019. Which is a sad commentary on the lack of progress we made in this country.
This was one of my grandmother's favorite films. As an adult, I can really appreciate the Younger family and their struggle to provide a better a life. But what really struck me, was the sterotypes of educated black people, within the black community. It is something I have experienced first hand.

Great book on following your passion. Really demonstrates how we can give up on us and our own passion with some other great things in life like marriage etc however to be completely fulfilled with no regrets one must be able to live both lives which creates an alternate future for you
