This quote changed me forever by opening my eyes and mind when I came across the writings of James Baldwin at the age of 10. “To be African American is to be African without any memory and American without any privilege.” —James Baldwin

I think the confusion comes in when black people love themselves white people think we hate them. Loving who I am does not equate to or mean that I hate anyone else.

We are also the only group who has been robbed of their ancestral history. Which in turn makes it harder for us to generate generational wealth that most attain through ancestral lineage.
Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.
C. S. Lewis

As you get older, you get more comfortable and life gets easier. Even the hard times get easier as you mature. At 45 I love my life and who I am. I look forward to getting older.

Hello Rachel, I’m Jennifer. I am currently working on my first book and have a blog on literary analysis. I look forward to our interactions here. Here’s to new followers
I’ve taken some time away to catch up on my writing goals for the year. Less than 3 months left to 2023! Where did the time go!

Yes, I have! I have been researching indigenous African religions and how African slaves influenced the religions in the countries they were transported to. I’m loving what I am learning! How about you?

Starting my blog was a difficult decision. I would be responsible for maintaining it on a regular basis which hard because of my busy schedule. However, it was totally worth it! I have learned so much and made some wonderful connections because of it.

I’m glad I am not alone in feeling this way! I love paper and use it to plan and outline my writing before typing it in the computer. I love the collection of notebooks I have to look back on and reflect.
