I can’t think of a better day to showcase this reel cover reveal for my debut novel! 🖤💚❤️ Would you read a #christianromance that doesn’t shy away from violence but still has a strong faith story and steamy kisses? If so, you’ll love my upcoming romance, A Church Girl’s Guide to Courting Danger. It has
❤️ A bodyguard romance ❤️ A cinnamon roll MMC and a stubborn FMC ❤️ A STRONG #faith arc ❤️ A whole lotta sweetness
It does NOT have
🚫 Profanity 🚫 Sex (closed door or otherwise) 🚫 Heavy-handed sermonizing 🚫 Third act breakup scene
Cassie Charleston will do anything to help one scared boy escape the most ruthless gang in Boston. Anything but face her own fears and work with the annoyingly charming Harmel Preston. The smooth talker may teach Cassie how to laugh again, but when the bullets start flying, she has to risk her heart– and to her life– to keep history from repeating itself. If you want a sneak peek, sign up for my newsletter at btrulywriterly.com!Keep supporting Black artists 🎨 🖤 #kwanzaa #ujimaBritt Writerly2023-12-28 | Today is day 3 of Kwanzaa and day 3 of #kwanzaathon2023 which is Ujima (collective work and responsibility). I wanted to reflect on the importance of standing up for Black artists, who are constantly be told their work doesn't matter, has no audience, or isn't worth 💸💰. Stay plugged into community and amplify Black art 🖤💚❤️

✊🏾Umoja (unity): a moment in black history that personifies unity ✊🏾Kujichagulia (self-determination): favorite black space ✊🏾Ujimaa (collective work and responsibility): favorite instance of Black people standing up/stepping up for each other ✊🏾Ujamaa (cooperative economics): *reel challenge* GET CREATIVE make an ad for your favorite black business (this includes authors) ✊🏾Nia (purpose): create your *1 sentence* statement of purpose ✊🏾Kuumba (creativity): *reel challenge* show us your creativity ✊🏾Imani (Faith): favorite example of Black victory
Group Read: Long Division by Kiese Laymon
Any one of any race can participate, just make sure you’re amplifying African American voices in completing the prompts! Make sure to #kwanzaathon2023 AND the day you’re posting about (e.g. umoja on day 1, kujichagulia on day 2, etc.). p.s. if you haven't read @AuthorBritneySLewis The Undead Truth of Us, why not support a Black author during Kwanzaa and GET THAT BOOK!
