- Day 6 of ✊🏾 #poems I am my mother’s legacy, with brevity. I’ll never recover from her death— I remember with every breath that I am her. She has a palm on every plan, a govern in each goal I chase after. I feel her pain, so I advocate in her name. #bvm #blm #blackpoet #blacksky #blackhistory
- Day 4 of ✊🏾 #poems Black joy smiling, grinning from grill to chin, taking up space in a far-off place. You don’t make sense here, but you exist anyway. White people are puzzled— how you juggle heartache and hard times, and still find time to laugh through the bullsh*t. #bvm #poetry #blackpoet #blm
- Day 2 Gold dipped in #Black, hair twisted to kneecaps, our locs unlock underground railroad maps, matted in majesty, rooted in revival, coarse in culture; so much beauty to praise, so much history to profess, so much pain to process, as our stories become public. #bvm #poems #blackhistory #poet

- Cheers to #ZohranMamdani I hear hope ring church bells in #NewYork sing solidarity— power the people #voting booths roar— we’re equals let’s flip birds to the system
- This was a cute age gap love story between a single mom and her kid’s coach. They both spend a beautiful vacation together during carnival, and spiciness ensues! You’ll root for the couple to get out of their way & simply love. 🥰 This was a really fun Summer read! #bvm #blackbooksky #booksky #books
- Y’all, this story felt SO real! I thought it was a true story! I’m over here googling, trying to figure out who the villain of the story is 😮💨 I was angry and sad, but I calmed down when I learned it was fictional. LOL 😅 But that lets you know how AMAZING this story is! 💕 #poetry #prose #bvm #booksky
- “We Should All Be Feminist…” The author argues this point with precision…😌 A beautiful short read, listen, or TEDTalk watch that outlines, with witty commentary 😏, what it means to be a feminist from a feminist. No worries, all genders are called to the carpet for real talk. #blackbooksky #booksky
- THIS book is an entire MOOD!! 🥹 Warsan, whose poetry is in the interludes between songs in THE QUEEN 🐝’s Lemonade album, doesn’t disappoint!! Her words travel through love, loss, identity, and home, charged by her Somali-British heritage. #blackbooksky #booksky #bvm #blacksky #beyonce #poetry #poet
- As an educator obsessed with unknown or hidden Black history, I ADORED this read HON-EY!!! 😍 I wanted MORE STORIES!!! 😩 I hope there's a 2nd book in the making… 😏 #blackbooksky #booksky #bvm #queer #harlem #book #LGBTQIA+ #blacksky #blackwriter #blackhistory Photo credit: www.ebar.com/story/153643
- Another life-changing read!!!😌🥰 Radical self-love is the only path forward to healing mass insecurities, as well as arresting body shaming thoughts, and releasing judgment of other body types. Open this book and get ready to be lovingly challenged.💕 #blackbooksky #booksky #bvm #bodypositivity #love
- If you're looking for a quick read to end June #Pride with pizzazz, enjoy Brontez Purnell’s book. They are a WHOLE MOOD! You feel a roller coaster of emotions. Just let your stomach flip & your hair toss in the wind. I guarantee it’s worth the wild journey. ✌🏾😘 #booksky #blackbooksky #poetry #bvm
- This is an excerpt from the #poem “Home” written by Warsan Shire. Every word hit me like bricks! 🧱 🥺😮💨🫰🏾🔥 #human #home #poetry
- Trump shows force like a big baby with a torch fumbling through court. You’re a jester performing for yourself—MAGA cheers from a hung jury helping you commit war crimes. Where is Congress to reel you in? Impeach him for his sins. This is unconstitutional, my fellow Americans. #protest #poetry #Iran
- Black women! Come to the front, let’s huddle up. Sisters of the Yam is THAT GIRL in the book world! This is the prerequisite read to cultural self-recovery & self-actualization. If you haven’t claimed it, this has the knowledge to free living Sis. Happy #Juneteenth #blackbooksky #bvm #blackskywomen
- This magically written modern-day poetic folk tale is laced with sisterly love, queer love, and shocking betrayal. No worries, the betrayal leads to a satisfying conclusion at the end. It is a cautionary tale indeed with a lovely lesson to learn. 😌👌🏾 #booksky #poetry #prose #queer #folktale #pride
- I almost forgot the feeling😮💨 I needed to recall for gratitude's sake. If you don’t remember, need to be reminded, or need to remind someone else about what it was like during COVID-19, read this! For Educators, there are good short stories for High School ELA lessons too! #blackbooksky #booksky #bvm
- I see no king here I see a coward taco cloaked in fascism #nokings #haiku #blacksky #nokingsprotest #poetry #bvm #skypoet #noking
- The first poem I memorized was on the TV Show Moesha by Lady Lunatic Poem “The Equation” 🔥🔥 I can still recite it from memory! 😏 #bvm #blacksky #blackskyover30 #blackskypoet #blackpoetry #poetry #harriettubman youtu.be/lgrG598_R-M?...
- This book is a CALL to ACTION for undervalued people starting a #company or investing in one. It’s highly motivational & inspiring to Black women with Impostor Syndrome. This is the representation & roadmap into business you’ve been waiting for! Run, don’t walk! #blackbooksky #booksky #bvm #business
- It has been a 🔪 murder and mayhem plot, neck-twisting reading roster in #May, with a splash of OMG Head-shaking Romance baes.💕 I might continue this momentum into June.😏😌 #readinglist #booksky #bvm #blackbooksky #blackwriters #romance #thriller #mystery
- I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this Black Woman's practical #prayers and #poems appealing to God using the context of History, her People, & Personal Experiences. She challenges the Bible, her Life, & Culture while maintaining deep respect and reverence. #blackbooksky #blackwriter #blackpoet #bvm
- I enjoyed listening to this book's culturally rich, bold, opinionated, unapologetic #LGBTQIA+ characters & allies who are figuring it out. Listening to teens discuss, defend, & define themselves for themselves was heartwarming. Read with compassion & enjoy the emerging lovers. #booksky #writer #book
- This book is a cute teen love story between a high-strung, achievement-focused chick and a laidback, naturally academically creative dude as they compete for the title of Valedictorian. I love the message at the end after barriers no longer block them from being together. #blackbooksky #booksky #bvm
