Celebrating Black History Month -Zaneta Varnado Johns

Lisa Tomey-Zonneveld

Prolific Pulse has dug into the archives and in honor of Black History Month is bringing forth many of the iconic Black Women who have visited through workshops, podcasts, celebrations and more! In the time I have gotten to know Zan, she has become a true friend, and I cherish this relationship. And – just like true friends do – we support one another.

Whenever I have asked Zan to help me with something, she gives a “YES” and always has the best ideas to help make everything turn out even better.

Today, I am going deep into the wealth of videos, and this is one of several videos of Zan’s work.

Get to know more about Zan and her books at Zan Expressions.

And now…a trip down memory lane when I first met and interviewed Zan.

Lastly but not least is our last celebration with the release of Encore

Now’s to get in on this time limited special. Just click the link and make a purchase for only .99 for the Kindle version of Encore: A Colleciton of Poetry by Zaneta Varnado Johns.

What a perfect companion for when you are on the go. I like to load my Fire up with books, especially poetry, for those times when I want to hear poetry by using the voice play feature of Kindle.

Of course, you surely would love the paperback version. Either way or with both, it’s a win!
