Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m not really a poetry person. However, I‘m a huge fan of Elizabeth Acevedo. I enjoyed her poems the most. #staywoke

Reading Woke: A Young Poet‘s Call to Justice #poetry #illustrated #middegrade #staywoke

An excellent examination on the vicious cycle of poverty with a focus on the city of #milwaukee and its housing crisis. The plight of the poor and the search for shelter is a never-ending cycle. #staywoke

Finished this book this morning. My first thought was I need to pull all my money out the bank ASAP. I don‘t know why that was one of the scariest parts. The fact that when you read this book you think is our society not a few steps away from such extreme treatment of women. We are already still fighting for equal pay, reproductive rights and the metoo movement. I‘m debating about watching the show. Im not sure I want another layer of visual.

When fantasy reflects reality #staywoke

If this isn't on your local schools' or colleges' reading list, SPEAK UP! This is the story of Baltimore, the story of Cleveland, the story of Ferguson and the reality for many of our communities. Well-written with characters for everyone to identify with in the story of how Khalil's death impacts all in the community. #truth #youth #interraciallove #staywoke #growingup #gonetoosoon
