The Black Kids (Hardcover)With the Rodney King riots closing in on high school senior Ashley and her family, the privileged bubble she has enjoyed, protecting her from the difficult realities most black people face, begins to crumble.

This collection of poetry and prose will justify heartache and inspire the fortitude to survive and prosper

Ratchetdemic will inspire a new generation to be their authentic selves both within and beyond the classroom

we become over-domesticated

It is the story of Angola

crinkle into crescent moons
