In TV news, I’ve got two disappointments, two loves, and one meh. I watched a lot of great movies this month, granted some of them were re-watches.

Two Book Tuesday
SPECTACULAR READS!
Favorite LGBTQ+ Books by Black Authors
I still want to be highlighting Black authors and Black stories, but because it’s also Pride month. So let’s get queer up in here!
Two Book Tuesday
Haven’t had one of these in a while.
This month I am prioritizing Black queer voices in my reading to learn more. Urge publishers to be more inclusive because Black lives matter. People of color matter and they need our love and support.

Dear Publishers,
We’ve seen your statements. We’ve seen you state you want to “do better.” So this is what we’re asking from you.
As part of Readers for Equality, we’ve put together four actionable items you can take to uplift the voices of the many literary content creators of color. We are asking for transparency. We are asking for compensation. We are asking for a seat at the table.
To everyone else in the literary world, if you stand with us, please help by sharing this graphic in your own feed and in your stories. Together we can effect change.

Spotlight on Black Voices
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few weeks, you are aware of the protests around the United States—and the world—after the death of George Floyd at the hand of four police officers. These protest are highlighting the police brutality in our country, more specifically within the Black community.

This has been an emotional week and I hope you are all doing your part to help combat racism, while still staying safe—still in a pandemic! Here is the link for The Bail Project helping people who are arrested from protests around the country.
May Wrap Up
“Salvation is certainly among the reasons I read. Reading and writing have always pulled me out of the darkest experiences in my life. Stories have given me a place in which to lose myself. They have allowed me to remember. They have allowed me to forget. They have allowed me to imagine different endings and better possible worlds.” – Roxane Gay
