Toni Morrison - A Mercy

-->

HelloFriends,

This book is pure beauty. It's taken me a while to read because it's such an involving book. When my friend @ASearll lent it to me she said it was sad. I had no idea!! I found myself often drenched in tears deeply empathising with the characters - she leaves you no choice. Toni Mirrison is honestly one of the best writters I have been blessed to read. Reading her books is like experiencing colour or sugar or music for the first time. It's a poetically written journey of love/hate/growth/slavery/freedom/blackness/whiteness/master &savant/inhale/exhale/humaneness/animalism and many more journeys all in equal regard. I'm at a loss for words, so don't exept this as a book review, I do the book no justice. It's just me sharing a gem with you.

Pretty Paris Pumps

HelloAgain:)

I was at a wonderful woman's conference this weekend! It completely refreshed my soul and enriched me in exactly the way I needed. The conference was great but these... Wow! My darling Zama donned these mean sued black with silk leopard print detail Betty pumps from Paris Hilton's range of shoezies at Stutterfords. Mmm I want!

The picks are from my bb and we know they don't take the best pics :/

Enjoy

Jill Scott - The Light Of The Sun

I would give a lot to be even half the woman that Jill Scott is.

I'm so proud to be a black woman when standing under her glory. She is strong, inteligent, resolute, artistic, beutiful and so many other things. This album is but another manifestation of her brilliance. Musical, melodic, soulful, real just what I needed...Once again. Favourite tracks: Until Then, Shame, Womanifesto, Making You Wait. #InNOParticularOrder

WOW

I cant explain my facination with our dear mother...

My contribution to conversations about music

These are the two new albums on my table at the mo... Well there's Jill Scott too but she deserves her own post :). I love Watch The Throne, it's one of those ones you can listen to in the morning then walk around like you've got a million in your back pocket all day! POWER... Let me give Thursday a solid listen then I'll get back to you, but if House Of Balloons is any comparison then I'll probably be obsessed by next week *twitch*. J


Ok friends that's all for now (I'm so busy, I've been a baaaad baaaad blogger smh)
