Jazz and the beauty of the Black experience. @willowsmith takes @estelledarlings through her favorite jazz standards for #BlackMusicMonth.
IS FINALLY OUT!! I just want to give deep gratitude to @jesshendelwrites for being such an amazing writing partner and for being open to having the uncomfortable conversations and taking the time to help me craft those complex ideas into something beautiful ✨❤️😭 I also want to thank @tomiadeyemi for lending her beautiful literary voice to this world and all the beautiful ways in which she brought us deeper and deeper into conversation, analysing the character dynamics and recurring themes of the book at The Strand bookstore yesterday. I hope this book can be a catharsis for anyone who reads it 🙏🏾
