#feelinTheLove #LoveOnTheRocks Oh, the late 1970s I think! https://youtu.be/450Unsb5BCw?si=5PGeT9bI5POF0Gt9
pickAnother fascinating trio into the fascinating life of Maya Angelou. It opens with a brilliant portrait of an aging Billie Holliday spending days in Maya's home, moves to NY + Maya involved in the civil rights movement as well as acting + bringing up her son, before her setting off the Africa with her South African freedom fighter husband. What a life. Written poetically but so compelling a tale, you can't put it down.
On the search for more good memoirs! Give me all you‘ve got! @Chelsea.Poole @britt_brooke @Megabooks tagging a few of my memoir lovers 😀
Normally, I don‘t pay particular attention to History Months, but this year I want to engage in some way with Black HM. So I perused my TBR and I think I have found the best way I can personally engage: Mandela‘s autobiography.
Already a few chapters in and I know it was the right choice. Perhaps (don‘t hold me to this) I will make it a theme for this year.
Funny how tr**mp‘s attempts to stifle history has made me want to do the opposite 🤔
pickI watched a lot of wrestling between 1998 & 2005 and I ❤️ Team Extreme! I had a massive crush on Jeff Hardy, and I remember when Lita debuted with Essa Rios: she was so unique because she did the tricks the guys did. It was really fun to relive those moments by reading her book and I learned a lot about how she got there. She was a true trailblazer!
Because I can‘t resist making new grids on PicCollage, here‘s my aspirational #serieslove2025 reading plan for Black History Month.
