Why doesn’t the sun go to college? Because it has a million degrees already. Happy blackout from my 2017 to yours ✊🏾✊🏽✊🏿

Here's my issue: We cram all of Black history into just one month. All we have time for is that George Washington Carver and all of his peanut stuff. We should learn all of Black history, all the year round, and teach it to everybody.

Leslie Jones

We couldn’t agree more, Leslie! So every day this month, we’ll be posting a book to add to your year-long reading list. These books cover Black history, stories, poems, lives, recipes – something for everybody, arranged in roughly chronological order according to subject matter. Unless you’re a speed-reader, you can be sure of needing more than 28 days to get through these 28 books.

BHM17- Day 11- Abbie Mills from Sleepy Hollow

I have talked about my love for Abbie multiple times. As a black girl who loves fantasy/horror/sci-fi this show was a dream come true for me! Abbie was a strong character but also flawed and vulnerable. She was the heart of the show and the person we as the audience related to! And then season 3 happened and yes I am still angry about it! But despite that I will never stop loving Abbie and hopefully she will be an example to the future that a black woman can successful as a lead in a fantasy series!

But the problem is that even at that point, I hadn’t come out to myself. I hadn’t, you know, accepted myself as this person who is different.
