Hello thank you for video on black authors. I want to read Issac son by Daniel and Josephine Baker memoir I am so excited. I am glad I found your channel.š
My library does a terrible job of having diverse books & then the few they have the wait is outrageous š©š©š¤£
Congratulations! š Your book has the potential to be a bestseller! šš
Have you considered enhancing its reach with a cinematic book trailer? š„š„ A compelling trailer can elevate your marketing strategy, making your book stand out even more.
Iād love to share a few samples to showcase whatās possible.
Can we get a Q2 edition of this video pretty please? ššæ
you are badddddddddd
Ps I just finished People of Means. 5 stars. Tulipās story was very relatable- the micro aggressions at work, the AA hire assumptions, being one of very few black people at her jobā¦yea! Very relevant read
I just got Harlem Rhapsody! I canāt wait to read this
Take a look at "Legend of the Seer" by P. Jeffrey Russell. There is a book trailer on YouTube.
Wow love your book recs & your hair š· New Subbie š«¶šæ
The Bible is a fictional book written by the Roman Catholic Church through a series of ecumenical councils. Iām suspicious of King Heronās actual existence

3 snaps for auntie Bernice and Zora! Iāve been working through their whole catalog ā¤
If you see Imani Perry again, how will you handle it? š
