Welcome to Litsy!

This is excellent so far; what an incredible woman she was. #justasiam #cicelytyson #memoir #blackgirlmagic #trailblazer #emmywinner #tonywinner #icon #restinpower

The worst part about these loses is that, despite the world being in a far better place then they found it, it is a far cry from where it should be. Their work is immeasurable, and the current environment is depressing. With RBG, it is goddamn disgraceful that we can't celebrate this incredible woman without immediately debating the open seat on the court. #restinpower

I was so saddened by the news this morning and knew it was time to revisit this awe-inspiring trilogy.

RIP, good sir.

And thank you.

#RestInPower dearest Toni. You sit on your throne alongside Octavia as one of the greatest black female writers of all time, but most certainly in American history. You will be dearly missed, but your voice and vision will persist as your legacy. 😭❣️

To one of the greatest, most influential sci-fi writers of all time. Octavia Butler, you have touched me with your novels - each character unique and memorable as the last. Each story incredibly woven, exploring difficult human (and non-human) relationships and uncomfortable topics like race, power, and gender... I'm so grateful for your strength and creativity. #restinpower #internationalwomensday

Today would have been Sandra Bland‘s 31st..... #restinpower #blackhistorymonth #sayhername

*sigh* I‘ve had this conversation with my grandmother. #safety #race #restinpower #trayvonmartin

"For rioting and fighting and surviving plagues and mourning friends..." #dedication #restinpower

Trayvon Martin was killed 5 years ago today. I will never have adequate words to describe the senselessness of this crime on a child, his family, and humanity. He should still be with us today. 🌹 #RestinPower #HoodiesUp

His parents, Sybrina Fulton & Tracy Martin, are incredible & strong and wrote his story in this book. I will be spending time with it & donating to their foundation today. I hope you'll pick it up too. #BlackLivesMatter
