Hi.

Welcome to my blog. I examine Black history and the Black experience through discoveries in literature, politics, philosophy, art, food and more. It's a great adventure with lots of inspiration and a few surprises along the way!  

I'm glad that you have come to visit. Hope you have a nice stay!
