Repost from @bnplit using @RepostRegramApp - “One day when I was six, my mother took us to the Quincy branch of the Cleveland public library to get library cards. That day was magic. Have my own library card made me feel grown-up, and being with my mother in the daytime during the week was special.” -Barbara Smith, Feminist scholar & activist,excerpt from “Well-Read Black Girl. 💐 💐 💐 💐 One of my favorite anthologies featuring black women writers, Well-Read Black Girl brings all the funny, the Heartbreak, the clarity, the coming-of-age and rejoicing of black female writers, new and old writing about their lives and how reading changed them and their whole trajectory. I have this on my Kindle as the e-book that I caught on sale for two dollars and also in print. It’s stacked on top of a pile of great writers of great women who are masters of their craft and certainly authors to read. #wellreadblackgirl #bnplit #barbarasmith #joanmorgan #virginiahamilton https://www.instagram.com/p/B6TVWnNl7o8/?igshid=169tc5j9evre1
