As the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wisely said, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Today and every day, I pledge to never silence my voice in the fight for what is right, and I will continue to march in the path he forged toward justice.

I’m still contemplating Youtube, but for some reason, a book blog sounds like the right direction to do. What do you think #booksky?

Banning TikTok whether temporary or permanent is not going to change what I’ve learned.

I deleted my Meta apps, I’m going to use this as a social media cleanse for now. I just bought a ton of books and went to the library. We good!
