‘White Flour’ featured in Essence Magazine

I was blown away to get the news that in a June 2 Essence magazine article titled “11 Children’s Books To Teach Your Kids About Racism And Discrimination,” my book White Flour was listed as number 4.

Given that Essence is a prominent magazine by, for, and of black women, I am beyond moved that they found my telling of this important story to be a useful tool, as they wrote, “to illustrate to children how to non-violently respond to racism.”

The article led to strong sales for the book in June, and I am donating June’s sales proceeds to seven organizations: NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Black Lives Matter, Umoja Health, Wellness, and Justice Collective, BeLoved Asheville, Lakota People’s Law Project, Equal Justice Initiative, and the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Sing loud, shine bright, and march on,
