Mybeautymark Leave a comment

To all my readers and followers I want to be transparent with you all let you all know that I’ve not been doing well. I recently lost a family member and it has been really hard to deal with. I don’t deal with death very easily. Ive been trying to stay busy and pretend like nothing happened but it’s painful each day. I want to apologize to my book blitz teams that I work with for some of my late posts, I try to always post the following day. I don’t know …and now the holidays are coming up and my heart is not in it this year. So if I’m a little late with a post my apologies it’s definitely not done on purpose. I’m hoping soon I’ll start to feel better. 💜 Thank you

Finally going back to writing my novel… #authortube #writingcommunity #writerslife

I participated in camp nanowrimo in April it really motivated me to start writing my novel again. I did a live write sprint on my YouTube channel just to stay accountable. It was my first time doing this but I think as time goes on I’ll get better and won’t be so nervous. Down below in the video to my live writing sprint, check it out and let me know how I did.

My thoughts/ review:

This is a really cute uplifting children’s book about a little girl named Rainbow and how she one day doesn’t like her name because she keeps getting teased at school. Her mom helps her change her mind about her name and helps her to love the name she was given. This book was done really well I loved illustrations and how colorful and bright they were. I believe this book can help young children with self esteem issues as well as self love. I think young children need more books like this, especially when the media is telling young kids to be and act a certain way instead of learning to love themselves.

My thoughts / review:

This is a collection of poetry that is yet powerful but is much needed. Ebony Stewart talked about being a black woman especially an “around the way girl” she spoke about growing up and sex, as well LGBTQ. There was so much the author talked about I felt she was talking to me directly as if we were good friends. Mostly everything I could relate to.

The author spoke from her heart and soul. And I believe as a reader I felt her words. This collection is something I will be re-reading many times over It was that good. Although I feel a lot of black women will understand where the author is coming from and can relate to it the most, just about anyone can read this collection of poetry and get a feel and true understanding of what Ebony Stewart went through and has faced.

Overall I absolutely loved this! *Thank you to Netgally, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read and review this book for my own honest opinion*
