#BLACKLOVE #BOOKCLUB .!
It’s officially here. We are keeping #BlackLiterature lit and closing out #nationalbookmonth and #nationalreadinggroupmonth (? who knew!), and strolling into #ScorpioSeason by announcing our first iteration of the Black Love Book Club. Each astrological month, we will be delving deep into the dynamics of Black Love in all its forms by reading a Black-authored work on the subject of love. We will alternate between works of fiction and non-fiction, and felt it requisite to launch the series with none other that bell hooks’ vital work “Salvation: Black People + Love”. Yes, we acknowledge that this title is technically the second in hooks’ three part “Love Song to the Nation”, and yet “All About Love” gets so much love… we wanted to share the love and go straight to the heart of the matter.
