Written on the body is a secret code only visible in certain lights; the accumulations of a lifetime gather there. In places the palimpsest is so heavily worked that the letters feel like braille. I like to keep my body rolled up away from prying eyes. Never unfold too much, tell the whole story.

Two years ago today I started The Free Black Women’s Library on a brownstone stoop in Bedstuy, Brooklyn with a dance for Oshun and 100 books. I only did once exchange that day!! Now I have over 700 books with multiple performances and presentations on Black feminism and womanism behind me, as well as hundreds and hundreds of exchanges under my belt!! I’m feeling so grateful and looking forward to more growth, study, and art making. Thank you to everyone that has supported this project from the start with good wishes, book exchanges and supportive vibes, you are a blessing.

9 Books Featured In ‘Mad Men’ You Should Read After Watching The Series Finale

The series finale of Mad Men is Sunday, and one of the reasons I’m going to miss the AMC drama is because of how detailed each episode is. From the TV show that a character is watching to the music that plays over the end credits, you know that everything you see and hear before you has a purpose.

That is most definitely the case with the bevy of books that have appeared on screen in Mad Men throughout the series. The show itself has a long list of literary inspiration that includes Jerry Della Femina’s From Those Wonderful Folks Who Gave You Pearl Harbor, Helen Gurley Brown’s Sex and the Single Girl and the  works of John Cheever.

It’s no surprise then that we’ve often seen Don, Betty and Sally Draper with books in their hands, whether they’re classics or classically 1960s, the decade in which the majority of the show takes place. Sometimes a book will be explicitly referred to in the script, other times the camera will linger on a novel on a bookshelf in the Sterling Cooper (or some variation of that name) offices, but whenever there’s a literary reference in Mad Men, there’s always a special meaning behind it.
