Aww this is awful! They hosted an event for me when I released my book in 2020 and are known to be a staple for marginalized authors. A true staple in the city. 💔

Was jamming the other night and these came on back to back. Like peanut butter and jelly! 💕#blackmusicmonthchallenge

This Petty Betty said,

“He wasn't man enough for me
If you don't know, now here's the chance
I've already had your man
Do you wonder just where he's been, yeah?
Not be worried about him
Now it's time you know the truth
I think he's just the man for you” 😂

Pretty sure this should be on the list! #blackmusicmonthchallenge

I’d be remiss if I didn’t share at least one song of the man who played such a pivotal role in my life. 6/25/2009 changed my life more than I expected.

Gone but definitely not forgotten. ❤️ #RIPMJ
