Now available! Considering the violence routinely inflicted on Black women alongside their artistic innovations, this book reveals a transmuted South that is rich in techniques for weaving liberatory works. buff.ly/isS9Wgo @nimojo.bsky.social #BlackStudies #AfricanaStudies #BlackModernity

I have long admired the field-shaping work of Soyica Diggs Colbert, Thadious Davis, and Riche Richardson, so I was ecstatic when I read their reviews of my first book The Souths in Her! I’m beyond grateful that they took the time to read and engage my work. #tsih #thesouthsinher
