When inspiration strikes, be ready for it. I decided to rework this older piece and then this happened. I used some of my favorite quotes of hers and then added all her novel titles. The quotes are from Song of Solomon and Paradise. The Queen of Literature re-imagined. 2019

What I’m reading, everyday. Just the beginning of my ongoing education. I encourage all of you, mostly my white friends and followers to proactively educate yourself on what is truly a white problem. YOUR white problem. MY white problem. #whitefragility is a real eye-opener. It unapologetically targets the issue at hand which is our denial and fear of white supremacy. As long as we are afraid of the white supremacy conversation then we will never be truly available to learn, grow and change. Start facing and acknowledging your white advantage and then learn how to dismantle it. #tonimorrison ‘s Beloved is ghostly and delicious. Based in 1870s and dives into the world of slavery. It tears your heart out. Delivers a rich blanket of truth and poetry. Nutritious, psychotic, dreamy, terrifying. Toni is a master. #riptonimorrison. #cornelwestRaceMatters Just starting.... #wp4bl #keepgoing #blacklivesmatter (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBjj0wahuSf/?igshid=w0hqwk65cq5l

On this day, Toni Morrison was born (February 18, 1931 - August 5, 2019). . Today's special mic drop comes from Nobel Prize winning author, Toni Morrison.🎤 . "I thought of myself as like the jazz musician — someone who practices and practices and practices in order to be able to invent and to make his art look effortless and graceful. I was always conscious of the constructed aspect of the writing process, and that art appears natural and elegant only as a result of constant practice and awareness of its formal structures. You must practice thrift in order to achieve that luxurious quality of wastefulness — that sense that you have enough to waste, that you are holding back — without actually wasting anything." . . . . . . . . . . #tonimorrison #tonimorrisonbooks #tonimorrisonbookclub #riptonimorrison #tonimorrisonquote #tonimorrisonbeloved #tonimorrisonquotes #tonimorrisontribute #tonimorrison👑 #tonimorrisonjazz #tonimorrisonsula #tonimorrisonforever #vintagebooks #bookstagram #bookshelf #igbooks #bibliophile #blackwriters #writers #readblackwriters #antiquarianbooks #bookstagrammer #booklover #bookcommunity #coverlove #greatbooks #bookfeature #bookaddict #vintagepaperback #diversespines https://www.instagram.com/p/B8tSjnsAR7g/?igshid=iwfcn3ryzq5l
