The Talk is Released and MORE to Come – Let’s Revisit this Discussion
This is The Talk and .it is now OUT!
The Talk is available on Lulu.com and other online retailers.
November 2022 I posted about The Talk.
This project is of vital importance and I am so grateful for the brave souls who came forward to tell their stories through essays and poetry. There is a strong representation with these author’s words.
On April 12, 2023 at 7 p.m. we are going to have a Book Launch for The Talk. You are invited to attend, to particpate as we continue the discussion behind the talk, the walk, the way of life, the way to survive that people of color have to deal with every day of their lives.
You can register by signing up with the EventBrite link. Then you will get a zoom link on the day of the launch so you can participate in this virtual event.

six silk scarves were spotted when he peeked inside the room
four were tied to the bedposts; two were left on the nightstand
sheets of satin tucked so tight that not a wrinkle showed
he swigged his drink, excused himself as he found his way to the door
she locked up her apartment, slipped into her gown and slippers
poured another glass and lounged on her chaise, and waited for a call
…..
There you have it. Believe it or not, I actually completed a six-lined poem for my contribution to the Six-Sentence Story Challenge. Happy Birthday to Denise.
You can join in the fun, too. Just go to this link and take on the challenge.
