It's release day! Goddess Crown is now out in the UK! I can't wait for UK readers to meet my 💪bold, daring, ⚔️sword-wielding heroine. She has a claim to the throne 👑, a hotline to the goddess and a stack of 🥷enemies!

Writers, I long to find a spectacular debut YA author to invite onto my list! I love romantasy, fantasy, fairy/folktale retellings, thrillers & anything with an unreliable narrator! If you write this, hit me up - see skylark-literary.com for submission guidelines. 😊♥️ #MSWL

VIBE was my favourite magazine in my teens. Black music studied, celebrated and elevated in a way I’d never seen.
RIP to the legendary Quincy Jones

#QuincyJones launched VIBE because it was the change he wanted to see. he wanted glorious and rigorous storytelling. he wanted depth of design and imagery. he wanted hip hop and the history of American Blackness that informed it to receive the credit it is due

Your boy is officially a PUBLISHED author 💚
I couldn’t be happier that my Ghanaian mythology story is out in the world. Black boys have always deserved to be the heroes of their own stories, and I hope you love this story as much as I loved writing it. See you in Asamando 🇬🇭

The media and political class is complicit in the far right, racist and Islamophobic violence we’re seeing across our country.
This morning, I experienced the visceral denial of this reality.

I always see color themed flat lays for books but never see ones featuring only Black authors so I had to make my own

He is beautiful, astoundingly intelligent, shockingly accomplished, introspective but also extrovert, has 6 kids, is a perfectionist workaholic, travels constantly for work, trends every second day - wouldn’t dating Namjoon be like trying to hold a literal open flame? 🤔

Argh! Had to rage-pause #AsBeautifulasYou at ep 8. Was drawn in by the skilled, driven, design engineer, female lead. Yet by ep 3 they had her throwing her entire savings into a business venture with zero market research, no viable business plan and no business acumen. 🤬🤬🤬
