Happy Birthday Alice Walker! Born in Eatonville, Georgia on this day in 1944, Alice Walker has - since the 1970s - been writing beautiful, soul-touching poetry, fiction, essays, and more. I feel gratefully enriched by her body of work. My stack only represents a portion. #alicewalker #blackwomenwriters

pickThis was one of my best reads from October! If you haven't picked this one, it's a must read! If you're considering picking up a McFadden this is a great place to start for first time readers. #readsoullit #blackwomenwriters
pick#IssaRae's book was ok. She has some interesting but familiar insights into being half Senegalese & half Black American, growing up in the 90s, pop culture, family relationships, & media. Her humor shines in some portions. Overall, I enjoyed what she had to say more than how she said it. Borderline thumbs up/so-so. #blackwomenwriters #diversebooks
