Status Updates From Shades of Black: A Celebrat...

Going to try to read two stories a week for tomorrow until I finish it. Hopefully before the end of the year.

I think that may have been the second best so far and the only children's story.

...I don't even know what to make of that one.

Double Dealing was the best of the short stories so far. The emotional elements was very sweet.

This story might be the best one so far.

Since We Went Away: I laughed multiple times and found the characters compelling. I wouldn't have minded if it had been longer because it ended too soon, in my opinion.

The Cookout: Interesting. There was many lines that were so *Black*. Also, what eventually happened near the end is too real and shows just how much things haven't changed between Black people and police in the US despite ~20 years having passed.

This book fills my heart with joy! Truly teaches children to love and value their blackness in any shade! Love!
