Review: The Sparrow (Spoiler Free) Musical Tati 2020-10-14 | Black lives still matter. Don't think that this isn't a fact since there isn't an intro.
I Recommend You Get Nekkid (Black Romance Recs) Musical Tati 2020-10-04 | Black lives still matter and still aren't getting justice in this jacked up system.We haven't forgotten and we're going to keep reminding y'all!This video is full of tried and true (meaning "old"...but paper doesn't go bad) Black romance reads that I love and would love for others to read!I hope you are joining in on the Nekkid Readathon, but even if you aren't, these books are great reads!#nekkidambassador#letsgetnekkid#booktubeblack#blackandbookish
Get Nekkid & Read-a-thon! Musical Tati 2020-10-03 | *EDIT TO VIDEO:* I misspoke on the Alyssa Cole statement! A Princess in Theory is a black romance. (Thanks Alicia! 💙) So there are 2 by her that would fit this readathon. Black lives still matter, even though Breonna Taylor was shitted on by the Amerkkkan Justshit System. Just because there's no intro, don't think I forgot. The Nekkid Readathon was created by The Black Prose Club to celebrate Black love written by Black authors through reading. I hope you will join in!Black Prose Club announcement video: youtu.be/vjnjuYgHHe8#letsgetnekkid#nekkidambassador#blackproseclub#booktubeblack#blackandbookish
