I had so much fun talking to Brittany about my work and it is extraordinary seeing this come together in such a thoughtful video! Thank you @therecount for spotlighting me and other Black creatives! 🙏🏾💖✨

Hollywood has become infamous for telling one story after another about Black pain. Bestselling author and collage artist @OgeMora is trying to change that.

You know when I first wrote Saturday I originally had it as the library was closed but changed it to storytime because I thought it too unrealistic. Yet here we are. Sorry Braxton! 😭 Glad this ended happily!

Nobody's reading life starts fully formed. It starts with one book you loved enough to keep. Then another. Some you'll buy, some you'll borrow, some you'll pass along and never see again. A small shelf isn't a smaller reading life; it's an earlier one, with everything still ahead of it

#RestInPower to Rev. Jesse Jackson. Today, we honor a giant whose voice, courage, and love for our people shaped generations. Reverend Jesse Jackson was not only a civil rights icon—he was family to the NAACP. His legacy sits at the heart of our work and at the center of this nation’s fight for justice. We carry his light forward. naacp.org/articles/naacp-hon…

Michelle and I were deeply saddened to hear about the passing of a true giant, the Reverend Jesse Jackson. We will always be grateful for Jesse's lifetime of service, and the friendship our families share. We stood on his shoulders. We send our deepest condolences to the Jackson family and everyone in Chicago and beyond who knew and loved him.

Shaboozey dedicates his #GRAMMYs award to immigrants during his acceptance speech: “Immigrants built this country, literally. Actually. So this is for them. For all children of immigrants, and for those who came to this country in search of a better opportunity, to be part of a nation that promised freedom for all and equal opportunity for everyone.”

@sesamestreetJan 27
When little ones hear about violent events on the news or in their communities, it can be hard to help them understand and cope with what happened. Limiting media exposure and making space for them to express big feelings can help children feel safer and more secure. Check here for more free resources supporting families affected by violence: m.sesame.org/ViolenceResourc…

If I made a list titled, “Kidlit folks I haven’t met but admire from afar,” @ogemora would be at the top. So, I was excited when she put ONE CAN BE in a @littlefreelibrary, making Rhode Island the 38th state in my quest for all 50. #onecanbe #50states #rhodeisland #kidlit

Joining @stefkidlit by reading a #PB a day during @taralazar January’s #StoryStorm. MORE OR LESS by #AlisonHughes and @ogemora is a feast for the eyes with spare text that is perfection. Lovely message full of the power of community. The art is gorgeous. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
