Women’s History Month

Last month, we celebrate Black History Month. March is Women’s History month, and last I checked, Black women write Black romance so I’m going to do one more list of wonderful Black Romance authors you need to be reading. Here are some Black romance authors who really captured my imagination. I particularly enjoyed the African romance. Happy reading! What I love about my local Walmart is their ability to have a very large and diverse book section. Yeah, it’s mostly white authors, but I’ve found several Black authors such as Talia Hibbert. Ms. Hibbert is a British author and it comes through with her snark and humor. I laughed out loud a some of the antics in the book. It’s the second book in the trilogy and it’s delightful. Grab copies today! I stumbled across books by Farrah Rochon in Target years ago and found her writing to be fun, snarky, sharp, and so satisfying. This is the third book in her series after The Boyfriend Project, and all of them have been so good and fun. Pick her books up today! I used to share a publisher with Empi Baryeh and I was totally intrigued by her books. She wrote African Royal romance and I was completely enthralled. The premise of HIS INHERITED PRINCESS just grabbed my attention and held me untiol the HEA at the very end, I highly recommend her writing. I came across Kiru Taye when I was getting into African romance, and let me tell you, you won’t be disappointed. Her writing is both sensual and intense, bringing all the beauty and excitement of African storytelling with the suspense aspects that keep you engaged and guessing. If you like contemporary romance with a twist, grab Ms. Taye’s work. I’ve been friends with Tina Glasneck for a long time, and she writes some amazing Paranormal romance. If you like vampires, shifters, dragons, and Norse gods, her writing will definitely thrill you. Check her out today! Thanks for checking out the Black Romance Authors I’ve been sharing. You can’t go wrong with diversifying your reading and enjoying some Black joy and love. I hope these few I’ve listed have given you the opportunity to find some great authors to add to your TBR pile. Again, happy reading, Happy Black History Month and Happy Women’s History Month!

Good morning and Happy Monday! Happy Women’s History Month! This is a great time to focus on the great things about being a woman (even if the world is on fire). Being a woman in this world isn’t easy. There are plenty of places where being a woman is the hardest person to be – and yet, the world NEEDS women, for our understanding, compassion, empathy, and fire. The world will try to drag us all down, destroy our self-esteem, confidence, and understanding of the power we wield. It’s why legislatures are trying to dismantle women’s rights in so many places. Because we are powerful. Don’t feel that? It’s understandable with onslaught of messages trying to cut you down. So here’s the first step in recovering your power with Motivation for this Monday: Iris Apfel recently passed away – a fashion icon who didn’t let anyone tell her how to dress even though she was 102! The woman in the yellow coat looks like her. Don’t let anyone tell you how you should be as a woman. You get to choose your own style, your own way of getting things done. The only expectations you need to fulfill are your own. You’ve survived this long and you know how things work for you. Don’t let anyone tell you how you do things is wrong – are they living your life? Nope. Of course it’s okay to seek and take advice – sometimes you can learn better ways of doing things – but you owe no one explanations for why and how you do things, and you don’t have to wear their expectations like an ill-fitting pair of shoes. YOU are the woman you’re meant to be. Be her to the fullest. Happy Women’s History Month and Happy Monday!
