Back to @JuneteenthBkFst and watching this awesome panel on Black women writing memoir and personal essays. BEEN a fan of @Karnythia and @Keah_Maria, and sooo enjoying getting to know @tnwhiskeywoman!
Whew, @tnwhiskeywoman sharing wisdom from @tayari: when you write fiction, people look for the truth, and when you write non-fiction, people look for the lie. Felt that in my spirit. #JuneteenthBookFest
LISSEN. People really try it. (That's the whole tweet, hahah. @Karnythia, I--. Whew.) #JuneteenthBookFest
There is nothing wrong with being inspired to follow your dreams by the success of mediocre folks.
"Well, dammit, if SHE can do it..." - @ElleOnWords on this awesome memoir panel @JuneteenthBkFst
I'm refusing to hear @Karnythia say somebody ain't heard of Eve's Bayou, and then @tnwhiskeywoman like, "You can just read Black literature because it's GOOD...the way we can bring those oral traditions to the page?!" THIS CONVERSATION. #JuneteenthBookFest
