ShadeTreeReads | The 2nd Annual Missy Elliot Readathon | Supa Dupa Fly Reads Announcement Video @ShadeTreeReads | Uploaded January 2023 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
The Missy Elliott Readathon is a month long readathon aimed at highlighting Black authors and celebrating the icon that is Missy Elliott. This year's theme is Supa Dupa Fly Reads, in which the prompts are based on Missy tracks from her debut album. During this readathon, the one requirement for each book (outside of the prompt) is the story MUST be written by a Black author! We have 7 prompts that you can choose from, all of which are stackable. There are also 2 group reads (which cover all 7 prompts).

Prompts:
1. Why You Hurt Me- A piece of short fiction by a Black author
2. Izzy Izzy Ahh- A book with an onomatopoeia in the title.
3. Hit Em Wit Da Hee- Strong Black Female Lead
4. Pass Da Blunt/Book- A Black book recommended to you by a Black person
5. Best Friends- A book co-authored by two or more Black people
6. I'm Talkin- Read a book in a style you're not used to
7. Gettaway- A book not set in the US or UK
