god loveth a cheerful giver

god loveth a cheerful giver

thank you, evangelical Christianity 
for conditioning me to give 10% of 

my income to the church without 
blinking even when I could barely 

pay my bills / now I happily pay micro- 
reparations so my Black siblings can 

find joy and rest / I highly recommend 
this purer form of tithes and offerings

Happy Black History Month! If you're looking for some resources, I'll be reviewing a book a day on Instagram + making some reels + IG lives with some Black creatives + sharing ways we can use our $ to give our Black siblings some rest this month. Stay tuned! 

I also want to invite you to a writing workshop I'm facilitating with my friend, Cara Meredith, on February 16th from 8pm-9:30 ET. It's called Upcycling Words That No Longer Fit, and we'll be redeeming/repurposing our old, worn-out words into something new and beautiful. Join us!

And I'd also love for you to join my writing community here on Substack. In addition to this free poem every Thursday, we chat about our writing journeys every Monday and Thursday. Fun times!

What are you reading/learning/sharing for Black History Month?
