Whooo, y’all. January has been a long, long month, but thankfully, it will be over in just a few hours. I’m not sure that February will be much better, given today’s news, but we do have Black History Month to look forward to. If you know me at all, you are already aware that I am Blackety Black Black, so Black History Month is really just an opportunity for me to remind you of the various ways in which I celebrate Black people and Black women writers specifically.

With that in mind, next month I’ll be starting a series on this blog entitled Black Lesbian Literary Legacies, where I interview and profile some of our Black lesbian literary foremothers, aka some of the women who’ve inspired me to do the work that I do.

I hope to introduce you to a few writers who have yet to receive their flowers, and help you learn a little more about some of your favorites.

Until next then, here’s a picture of Mango, serving leg and face.
