Last year, I did a countdown during Black History of why I love being black! I shared it on my private Facebook page. This year I am doing it again and decided to share on this page and all my public social networks. Please follow me on my public social networks! ? Will do my best to share each day with you all! “Day 3! SAY IT LOUD! I AM BLACK AND I AM PROUD! Today I salute all the black writers past, present, and future! I feel like I came out the womb reading. When I was handed books like “The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer” in school…I was absolutely disgusted that this was “required” reading. How dare they diminish my sounds of blackness and make me doubt myself!!! No one can tell our stories better than us! ?? You can study us and try to replicate us…but our true stories of trials and tribulations are LIVED! I thank all the black writers from all over the world for inspiring black girls like myself to pick up a book and read with a heart wrenching enduring love for all we have gone through and to even dare us to write our own stories! Kingston Jael Michaels could not have been born without you! ??” ~KJM saluting Black Writers on this third day in February…a flashback Friday?
